The location was great. We could walk to Balboa Park, as the name says. And we could also walk to Little Italy, where there are so many good restaurants. The fixtures, furniture, appliances and linens in the unit were all luxurious and nicer than expected, giving the place a classy feel. The thing you might be wondering about is the noise from the airport. There are a lot of planes flying overhead during the day, and they are noisy, but by the time we were going to sleep, the planes had become much less frequent and then they seemed to have stopped by around 11. Or maybe it was the comfy bed lulling me to sleep so I didn't notice. But really, the noise wasn't a problem for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
