This is a spacious apartment slap-bang in the midst of Little Italy & downtown San Diego. We found it really easy to walk to places - the marina and Gaslamp Quarter - but if you are driving then it's really close to the freeway, and a 10 min drive to the zoo and museums of Balboa Park. The flat was really clean, the bed was comfy, and the kitchen well-equipped. There isn't tons of natural light, and there is (as of December 2017) a building site outside the bedroom window where they start work at 7am sharp, but once that development is completed (or if you are awake at 6am with jetlag anyway) it won't be a problem. We'd stay again, and would recommend.
