Easy walking distance to Old Town- you should stop by the California Bean coffee and get a Mexican Mocha on your trek. It was an easy and cheap Uber ride to downtown Gaslamp, North Town, and Mission Bay (these are just places I went), and of course the airport. You do have to go to the back of a building up a flight of stairs- not a huge deal. Veena was nice enough to let me know I could check in early on my day of arrival- which was nice so I didn't have to slump my luggage everywhere. There are fans in every room and a window unit in the bedroom that works nicely- I was surprised by this being as I have always had a central A/C unit- but it by all means didn't make it unbearable. It is an older home that is attached to other people so be aware that you are in close proximity- and walk the back way up the stairs because the dogs will bark and scare the crap out of you! Bring your own water or stop and get a case, there is a fridge to store cold waters, but no filtered option. The bed and pillows were so comfy- probably better than my own bed at home. Overall I had a great experience.
