The location can’t be beat — very safe and secure. The place was perfect for the 5 days we were in San Diego. The kitchen is pretty bare bones as far as pantry items - we didn’t find any salt or pepper but we basically ate out every meal. Since you are in the heart of Little Italy, there is some street noise, not a problem for us but if you are a light sleeper you may want to have a white noise app. We would definitely stay again!
