This was a lovely home, very close (20 minutes walking) to great restaurants and bars in the Gaslamp part of downtown San Diego. The views of the water near the San Diego Convention Center (25 minutes walking) were incredibly memorable. To get to the closest sand beach, you'll have to take a car to Coronado (there are no sand beaches in walking distance). Coronado was beautiful and the beach there is everything you'd want - there are a ton of great restaurants too. The home is cozy and a perfect size for two. The area directly surrounding the house has a large homeless population, so be aware of that as you walk downtown. Brian is wonderful and takes great care of his guests.
