It's a wonderful option for those visiting San Diego. The proximity to Mission Bay meant you could see fireworks from the bedroom. The hot tub and pool did not seem to be used much by the complex, so it was nice to have it to yourself. Vicki provides little notes around the apartment to let you know where things are located. The parking right outside the staircase is very convenient - easy in, easy out. You may hear a bit of the overhead noise if windows are open, but living in San Francisco, where street noise is common, this did not diminish our stay.
