Sommer’s place is less than a 10minutes ride away from balboa park! Uber is really inexpensive in San Diego, so it’s definitely an option. If you don’t mind walking to downtown (gaslamp) like we did, it’s around a 30minutes walk! There are just so far good food around the area. Right beside the Airbnb, there are 2 amazing cafes and a ice cream place. Super affordable & yummy! Going to la jolla & torrey pines is about a 30minutes drive which isn’t too bad for a day trip out! Her cat, Simon, is pretty affectionate, so if you are scared of cats, I really won’t recommend staying here because he will want to come to you. Her apartment is super nice and comfortable to stay in. The 2 shared bathrooms made the stay even better because we never had to wait to wash up!
