The apartment worked great for my unique situation this trip! I needed to be in San Diego for a family event but also had to complete a big project. The patio and ocean view offered a perfect spot for brings during the day. I also enjoyed that I could walk to everything on Newport Ave.
Parking was no problem during the day, but was challenging in the evening/night. On two occasions I had park multiple blocks away after returning from dinner around 9/9:30. I would keep this in mind as you make your plans.
Also, if you have guests picking you up or meeting you make sure to run it by the host. My guests were sent away. The contract has very explicit language about visitors, but I was surprised by the interaction given my cousins were picking me up and then we were leaving.
Overall it was a great place to say!
