The location here is perfect. You would still need a car, but we were able to easily get to Coronado Island, Balboa Park, downtown/gas lamp district within a 20 min drive. Overall, this place is old, dating back to 1888, which has a lot of character. It could be a little cleaner (esp. kitchen sink area) and use a little more attention to detail (e.g., operational instructions for ceiling fan light).
