This place is PERFECT! If you've come across it and now reading these reviews, just go ahead and book it. Trust us, you'll love it. Namely, we usually stay downtown in order to be close to everything. We initially planned on staying in either Gaslamp district or Little Italy, but after checking out numerous listings and comments about noise (from planes etc.) etc. we ended up looking for a place outside of downtown yet still close to major attractions we wanted to see... And that's how we came across Marina's place.
The place is better than depicted in the photos; it is super-clean, and spacious (we had 5 family member staying there and we felt pretty comfortable). The instructions manual in the kitchen provides pertinent info to access the Internet, as well as a number of handy tips for some great restaurants, things to do while in SanDiego, etc. The kitchen is fully equipped. Marina truly thought of everything. Feels like a home away from home. And it's CLOSE to everything!! (e.g. SeaWorld is literally 5-6 minutes away... the parking ticket there is good for the whole day so if you or your little ones get tired you could go 'home', cool down a bit, or even go have dinner, and then head back for the night shows etc.) The Zoo, downtown, Coronado beach etc. are all close as well). Wholeheartedly recommended!!
