We were here for the university but wanted to have a feel of a vacation. This location works well for us; very easy to drive to USD, and many routes to avoid traffic. It is only steps to either the bay side or the Pacific side. The beach is beautiful and lively with a lot of activities for everyone. The 2 full-function bathrooms are nice, and the kitchen, full-size washer, and dryer made our long stay very comfortable. The unit is on the second floor of a house, so there are windows on all 4 sides, making the unit breezy with a tropical feel.
