This apartment was really great, had all the amenities we needed, clean, and in a great, walkable location. There tons of restaurants and shops nearby within walking distance, and not too far from awesome neighborhoods with vintage shopping and boutique shops like North Park or South Park, or tons of restaurants in Hillcrest. We never went to downtown, and instead enjoyed the neighborhood joints and local coffee shops. The views from the apartment were amazing and we loved hanging out to relax or read.
Like others said, the airplanes that fly over can be loud, but they didn’t bother us. If you’re a light sleeper, wear ear plugs. Parking can be difficult be we didn’t find it super hard to park as there were lots of street parking all around in the evenings. Only one time we parked in the lot and it was because there would be street sweeping that day- totally fine, tho.
Would definitely keep in mind for future visits to San Diego.
