This is definitely a great location. It took me 7 minutes to drive to the airport to pick up my boyfriend. I drove right through little Italy. Later, we walked home from the Gaslamp area, and it only took us 20 minutes tops. It was also right next to the Palisades, probably a 5 minute walk to the park. The place was really cute, and very lush and tropical. The room was small but it was all the space we needed. It was raining when we were there, but if it was sunny you can go out on the decks and look into downtown! Definitely recommend staying here.
