We were in San Diego for the conference and this place is nicely walkable to the convention center (Eurpean walkable, concider like 30 min walk or so) and the way itself is beautiful. Beautiful part of the town, really a lot of great places to eat and hang out. It is close to the airport, you can take a free shuttle for one stop and then walk like 15 min and you at the place.
Little Italy felt safe and cosy, would definetly recomend it over Gas Lamp. Though, property is upfront honest with you, this place is on the planes way to the airport. It didn't bother us, we actually loved it. Got very cool pictures and videos of planes. You can hear them inside the apartment and they go until like midnight, but then again, didn't bother us at all, place is great.
Property managment was very friendly, instructuions are clear and our overall experience was great. Will definetly stay here next time. Thanks!
