Cozy, clean, comfortable accommodations conveniently located to much of what's interesting about San Diego. I was staying by myself so I appreciated feeling secure inside the gated area facing the ally, including that my rental car was off the street. Was visiting my son who lives near Mesa College and it was easy to jump on the freeway and down a few exits to his place. He works in Balboa Park, and I found it convenient to get there also. Would note, as others have, there are the conveniences of being in a lively neighborhood (Normal Heights, cafes, antique shops, restaurants, bars within walking distance) but also the accompanying sounds of close, urban living. Not a true bother as long as you're not looking for complete quiet and being removed from everyday, local life. Thanks, Gwynne!
