We are used to staying closer to the activity areas, so this was a ways from Pacific Beach, and restaurants we frequent, so location wasn't great for us. Also, we were on the bottom floor and whoever was renting the unit above us was up at 4:30 in the morning 2 of the 3 mornings we were there, and it sounded like they were remodeling the place. Banging things, moving furniture, (probably chairs) but scraping across the floor, to a level that woke us up both mornings. This was obviously not the hosts fault or anything they could do about it, so no blame there, but we won't rent a first level place again because of that. Also, last but not least is the noise from the jets taking off from San Diego International. The place is located directly under the flight path of outgoing flights so every morning starting around 6 am the jets started taking off, and continued so the location didn't offer a very peaceful and quiet experience from a noise standpoint.
