Staying in Chula Vista is an affordable way to see San Diego and the South Bay Area. Hopping on the 805 is really easy from this unit. This area is a little older and sketchy part of the city but the unit is set back off the street and parking off the street is such a plus anywhere in San Diego. We felt secure in Maricarmen’s house and she has outfitted her kitchen well and provided many supplies that other places don’t. Laundry is not in the unit but she has provided a place for that just steps away and it completely private. There are two little yards areas front and back, a free Netflix account to use, etc. it is about a 15 minute drive to the outlet mall on the border which we visited once. Several large Hispanic markets 5-10 minutes away as well as an Albertsons and Sprouts. Convenient mall in Bonita and big box stores, Trader Joe’s etc. up the hill in Eastlake area.
