Great central location, blocks from gas lamp district, 10 minutes from zoo, 30minutes to 1hr from safari park (depending on traffic), short drive to old town san diego. The coolest part for my coffee lovers is that there is a coffee shop LITERALLY next door to the unit, how awesome! Also for my dog owners, and those who enjoy lawn games, live music and want to indulge in drinks and a bite....all in one place....there is a courtyard bar right next door to the coffee shop...both places completed our stay. if anything I would come back just for that convenience! Be prepared for street parking...its not so much a struggle as it is a challenge! Julie was great in responding to any and all questions I had....in a timely fashion...at any time of the day. My party had both units... one of the units had the last two rooms connected to each other and the last of the two rooms shared the door to the backyard (so whomever sleeps in those, be prepared for little privacy). the other unit only has the last room connected to the backyard. since we were all brothers, sisters, grandma and kids we didn't mind. the backyards are nice, with a picnic table and outdoor couches. overall a good stay!
