This is the perfect location for those visiting Petco Park, the Convention Center, or with business in downtown San Diego. All easily walkable in a few minutes as is The Gaslamp Area (bars and restaurants), Seaport Village, and The Embarcadero. A bit longer, but pleasant walk is Balboa Park for museums and the Zoo, Little Italy and Banker's Hill. The apartment was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking gear. The patio is really a terrace. The view across the street is no longer what the main picture on the web page is. It is a new large apartment building under construction, 7 am - 6 pm M-F and 7 am to noon on Saturday. The noise is mostly obscured by the pleasant white noise of the air conditioner so our sleep was only minimally impaired. However, you could not use the terrace during those hours. It was too loud. Downtown San Diego is gritty. If you have business there then this is a great location. If not, there are many more beautiful places in San Diego County.
