Simon's place is located in a quiet neighborhood at the edge of Mission Boulevard. If you enjoy volleyball or prefer to be active on your vacation, this is the perfect location. Although the condo is located in a mostly residential area, it's worth a nice walk to the restaurants and grocery store because the weather is always wonderful. I highly recommend Draft Coffee just off the boardwalk for breakfast - the food and beverages were great. Pacific Beach is just a short 10 minute drive up Mission Boulevard, or you can even take a bike or scooters - shopping in that area has much more to offer than Mission Beach. Make a reservation at the Fishery for a delicious lunch or dinner while you're in town - you won't regret it. Overall, Simon's place provided all of the amenities I needed for a little escape from reality.
