Very short walks to the bay and beach easy. Good for a short stay but remember no kitchen. So you have to eat away unless you like microwaved food. But this is not bad because it encourages you to explore and be out and about. And with the electric scooters all around there, your range is pretty great if you are on foot. Parking is as you expect in San Diego/California, hard and expensive unless you dont mind getting up early an moving your car avoiding tickets. We were there during the 4th so parking was limited around this time.
