We were visiting San Diego from New York and we were very pleased with the location of the unit. Even though it was cooler, there was a lot of activity on the beach and parallel beach walk. The view was great and often we sat relaxing in the second floor unit and just watched the waves crash and the surfers surf from the couch. Starbucks and other fast food establishments are in easy walking distance. We rented bikes from a nearby shop. We had a rental car and were under 15 minutes to the airport, USS Midway Museum and downtown San Diego. We met friends for dinner in nearby Pacific Beach and drove up to the Aquarium in La Jolla.
