Lucinda’s home was super cute and in a great location. We rented a car but there were days when we didn’t even use it. It’s an easy walk to the harbor, Gaslamp, and Balboa Park. It was a short drive to La Jolla and Coronado. As far as being under the airport flight path, we actually enjoyed watching the planes fly overhead as we drank coffee on the patio in the morning. We did not notice the noise too much once inside. Lucinda also provided all of the essentials; we only had to visit a store to buy food. She even provided wine and coffee! We will definitely stay here again if in San Diego
