This is a conveniently located guesthouse near downtown. If you are not expecting to spend much time in the room, the room I rented was OK. Ceiling is low and the house being under the approach to busy San Diego International Airport makes it noisy at intervals. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a nice living room common area. I would say that if you are spending a lot of time out of the house this room works fine. Restaurants are pretty accessible but shopping is a little more challenging without a car.
