We stayed at the Casita for 3 weeks and had an amazing time. The neighborhood is very quiet and clean. There is beautiful landscaping in the residential areas with interesting plant varieties. You can wander down the hill for beer and food but you'll definitely burn up those calories on the hike back up the hill. You are very conveniently located with easy access to many of the main tourist attractions in San Diego.
The Casita was clean and had everything we needed. Water pressure was fantastic and there was an ample supply of hot water. I highly recommend this spot and when I come back to San Diego I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
