The apartment is extremely well located, 2 to 300 yards to the beach, 100 to a Ralph's supermarket and within 500 yards of 2 of my favorite Pacific Beach restaurants. The amenities include everything you would expect and the house is well noise insulated, which is a must in that area. There was a party in the same complex next door and bars in the same block and we could barely hear them, which is great as it did not prevent my 2 younger girls from sleeping. This house is safe for young children over 2 years old. Having DirectTV was a plus, although we don't watch TV much. Internet was working fine. On the negative side, the A/C was a little hard to setup without the user manual but we were still able to increase it from 72 to 75 during our stay. Highly recommended place!
