Couldn't ask for a better location. Walkable to anywhere in Hillcrest. Close to the clubs, bars, restaurants, and Walgreens. Includes a parking spot which was a big deal since we drove 6 hours to get there and didn't want to spend time trying to find street parking or pay the astronomical hotel parking fees.
Marcus is very knowledgable about everything in Hillcrest and San Diego. My partner and I went to most of the places that he recommended including restaurants, bars, and clubs, and loved all of them! The Casita is very clean and just a great place to come back to and crash after drinking our body weight in liquor at the endless array of bars in the vicinity. We enjoyed drinking coffee in the garden in the mornings and enjoying the cool San Diego breeze in the evenings. Would stay again!!! A++++
