Listing was exactly as described (literally looks exactly like the pictures), and was within walking distance to just about everything.
The Gaslamp Quarter is just a couple of blocks away if you're into the nightlife side of things. The USS Midway/Maritime Museum are about an exact mile. Balboa park is about 1.5 miles away (for the museums; the park itself is about half a mile away). I just ended up walking everywhere since everything was so conveniently close by.

Bill was out when I arrived, but his assistant (I'm bad with names, but I think his name was Jessie) was extremely helpful and got me situated.

I grew up in a major city, so noise isn't a bother to me (I slept like a baby), but if you're used to peace and quiet, just keep in mind that this is in the heart of downtown San Diego so road noise is definitely a real thing.
