This is a great location and a short walk or drive to just about anywhere in the area. I don’t think we had to drive more than 20 minutes and most were 10 or less including downtown. We enjoyed having Balboa park only 1 1/2 blocks away and I went running there several mornings while staying. The unit was very clean and quiet and in a safe neighborhood and we will stay here again when we come back to San Diego. Harold was a great host and provided everything we needed plus more.
