This place is great! My family visits San Diego pretty regularly, so we have had other trips where we get out and see the city. This time, we made it our goal to park the car and not move it during our weekend stay. We were able to walk to the beach, restaurants, shopping, and a nightly ice cream trip every evening and we didn't drive the care once. You have everything you need right there! With younger kids and a dog, this was perfect for all of us.
