Location close to beach & boardwalk— very easy walk to activities, Belmont park with roller coaster etc & some takeout type restaurants. Short walk over to quieter bay side. 20 min drive to Coronado Island, short drives to Seaport Village, La Jolla, Point Loma. Great base location to explore San Diego area. Traffic on Mission Blvd was heavy but is just a short distance. Boardwalk near condo was very busy on the weekend tough to ride bikes but quieted down on the Monday weekday. There was no central heat in condo for cold beach night but a space heater worked well to warm the place. Just check to be sure it is there when you arrive. Air conditioning is usually not needed at the beach in Southern California
