This was a great unit for our family of 4. It is quite large and gave us lots of room to spread out. We especially appreciated the comfy living room and big screen tv for evening movies, huge bedroom closets, and well-stocked kitchen. The location is amazing - Little Italy (super vibrant, family-friendly neighbourhood with lots of restaurants and cafes, not just Italian!) is a very short walk away, and if longer walks are your thing we found it easily walkable to Balboa Park and the zoo too (or a short $10 Uber). The planes landing at the airport are definitely loud and frequent - if that's going to bother you then don't stay in this area of San Diego! - but we loved watching them and didn't find the noise to be a problem or keep us up at night (we always sleep with background white noise anyway), and the windows in the unit are good quality and do help to dampen the sound quite a bit. With the windows open there is also traffic noise from I-5, not something we found disruptive at all (and being so close to I-5 was really quite convenient for getting around), but if you are looking for a peaceful, quiet spot this probably isn't the place for you. If you want to be centrally located and experience the best of urban San Diego from a comfortable home base, stay here! Garret was a great and informative host, and the unit was like a home away from home. We really felt like we were staying at a friend's place, and not a rental. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
