This was a very convenient and homey place. Check in and out were easy and completely autonomous, so I did not have to worry about having to coordinate schedules. The apartment was in a quiet residential neighborhood that was next to Balboa Park and about 15-20 minutes walk from the Gaslamp and Italian quarters, and about 10 more minutes to the convention center. Bus and tram stops were about 10 minutes away, and went direct to the airport and other places. I really appreciated having the espresso machine in the kitchen. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable.
