This condo is located near lively bars, restaurants (must go to City Tacos! we loved the food.) and just a short, ~2 minute walk to the beach. We loved having beach toys available for our youngest. The condo is a short drive to the San Diego Zoo and Old Town, which we enjoyed visiting while there. Understand it is on a very busy pedestrian walkway, which has its pros and cons. We loved exploring the stands selling hand made jewelry and trinkets and there were many fun things to see through the evening right from the balcony, such as an LED bike parade.
