The apartment was fantastic. Perfect for two friends, one in BR, the other on the pull out couch. The deck was very pleasant for relaxing.
Barrio Logan is a great place to stay, it seems to be a transitional neighborhood, but is retaining its character, including some amazing murals. Local bodegas and a local taco restaurant were great. Line up for lunch at Las Cuatro Milpas, up the street on Logan, authentic casual eats, cash only. Bakery on the corner is AWESOME!
We did our grocery shopping about a mile away at Discount Grocery on Market St. Cheapest wines I have ever seen. Yummy fruit, cheese, yogurt. Not fancy, but we liked what we found.
We were 2 women alone, and we walked everywhere from the apartment during the day, but avoid National Ave toward Gaslamp.
We were attending a conference at the San Diego Conference Center. Best route there was to head down toward the water on Sigsbee, cross-over the tracks and the street and make a right on Harbor, and walk along the industrial part until it becomes the hotel and conference part. Uber at night, it's cheap convenient and safe. We could get anywhere for $6-7.
