The location is fantastic! Next door to little Italy, close to the waterfront, great coffee spot (bird rock coffee) right down the street and a rite aid on the corner for anything you forgot to pack! Like others have commented, there is street noise but the sound machine provided is excellent for blocking it out. The bed was very comfortable as well. We will definitely keep this one as a favorite to stay at in San Diego! The little Italy Farmers Market is a must!!
