My friend and I where pretty happy with the place. It was as advertised and we had a great time. I enjoyed taking a bath in a nice tub. The kitchen was just what I needed to make dinner.
We drove so I can't tell you if it was close or far from stuff all I know is we where able to get to North Park, Gaslamp, the Padres stadium, and Ocean Beach by side roads and the highway within 10-20 min by car.
It was a little loud during the afternoon due to the neighbors, but, that is to be expected when you are in a big city like San Diego. The place had a lot of character and I would recommend this place to my friends and family if they visit San Diego.
