I think other reviewers noted the convenient location, but you can't know that until you stay there. It's all true! My husband and I arrived on a Saturday night after having made a 10pm reservation while on the departure tarmac. We walked about 10-15 minutes to the Ironside restaurant and had ceviche and a delicious cool salad. Little Italy was hopping! We walked a lot but also used the ubiquitous rental bikes and scooters. It was fun to be higher up in the city--felt like an escape from the chaos. I had a meeting at the convention center which was about a 25 minute walk. Recommend scooters in Balboa Park! This place is only ~15 minutes by car to the airport. Very easy access. The place itself is well-appointed. Lovely tended garden, inviting sitting room as you get off the street, spacious bedroom, small but utilitarian kitchen, private balcony. We slept very well (were tired from all the walking too, but the bed was comfortable.) Gary and Frank were very accessible via the airbnb messaging and offered lots of options for things to do and places to eat. This Cortez Hill apartment was lovely.
