We stayed at Jeanette's home with our 2 year old and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was much larger than the photos suggest - really it's like a 2 bed house. Super clean and easy check-in. We had a car with us to drive where we needed but the location is close (on foot) to Little Italy and then a short uber to anywhere else. San Diego is fairly compact as a city so you won't struggle with distances with uber/your own car. We didn't get to meet Jeanette during our stay though communication was fine before and during the trip. There have been a fair few reviews aluding to the airport close by. It is and you'll get a close up viewing of planes arriving from the rooftop however the apartment is relatively well insulated. If you're from a big city you won't notice anything at all!
