This apartment was a great place to stay during our vacation to San Diego. It is tucked behind other apartment/homes but never heard any noise from neighbors. The apartment itself is very nice. The A/C was extremely vital to have, even though in San Diego it did get stuffy. Not all places have A/C that we looked at. So it is quite a bonus! There was plenty of room for a family of 4. Loved having a kitchen to keep breakfast items and snacks in. The surrounding area is ok. We took a bike ride and saw some very nice buildings and places but also some areas/people that were concerning to us. I understand however that the city is working on making it a more family friendly place. Parking can be difficult at times but we did always find a spot. We would definitely stay here again !!
