This is a great location with convenient access to Pacific Beach and lots of restaurants and shops. Getting to/from the beach is a easy 20 minute walk or a 7 minute scooter ride. And with Diamond street largely closed to through traffic, it’s less hectic than the beach. A major street is fairly close by which provides convenient access to the rest of San Diego, but road noise can be heard sometimes. It wasn’t an issue for us except for Friday and Saturday nights. Though if you live in a big city, you may not even notice it. Lastly, parking in front is usually taken, so if you drove or rent a car, you’ll likely need to park a block or two away. Overall, a great location to serve as home base for your San Diego adventures.
