This place is great. Right at the mouth of the San Diego River where Mission Bay meets the Pacific. Maybe a ten minute walk to Belmont Park and all of the nightlife along Mission Beach. Shirt lyft ride to PB and not a bad problem to get downtown and the rest SD has to offer Short walk in 3 directions to the beach! Even in December, it was perfect! Outside the deck there was a great view down the street to the water. A great place to sit and drink coffee and get the day planned. It got pretty chilly when the sun went down, but the unit had heating and plenty of extra blankets. I didn’t cook at all, but it looked as if there was plenty of cooking tools! Just a great experience all around with the studio, and oh yeah, it’s in San Diego, too so there’s all sorts of good around it, too!
