Katherine and Paige’s place is perfect in every way that I can think of; It is a walking distance to lots of attractions in the downtown area. I walked to Little Italy, Balboa Park, Gaslamp Quarter, and Seaport Village. The few times I used an Uber it cost $10-12, including from the airport to the apartment.
The neighborhood is quiet and very safe. For a woman traveling solo for the first time, I felt safe enough to walk home even after dusk.
The apartment itself is very clean, well lit, wonderfully appointed and has nice blinds that keep it dim enough to sleep in even on sunny mornings. On two of the four days I was there, temperatures climbed into the 90s outside, while inside it stayed nice and cool.
To my fellow foodies: Follow the hosts’ recommendations if you want good food and coffee. The food was so good I visited some of the restaurants twice!
I am already planning my trip back!
