Yes, we were pleasantly surprised that it exceeded our expectations. It was a convenient drive to all of our SD destinations (i.e. downtown, Coronado, La Jolla, etc.) Be aware it is literally up the block from the Qualcomm stadium, so during game time the traffic is very intense. Overall, the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and the view from the apartment overlooking the canyon was wonderful. The apartment was very clean, decorated in good taste, and very modern. The full kitchen was very convenient and we were able to make breakfast for ourselves in the morning as if we were home.
