Stay at Gary's place if you're seeking a quiet, clean part of town that is easy to get to from all directions. It's 1 block from Balboa Park, 10 minute walk to downtown, 5 minute jog to the harbor, and 25 to La Jolla in a car. Gary's kitchen was spotless, the apartment is decorated well and has plenty of space for 1-2 guests. The TV was tricky to operate but who cares because you're in San Diego. I'd recommend this place.
