Interesting neighborhood that appeared to be in transition (not entirely sure what in which direction it was going). The room we were in was clean and well-appointed, but the home was subdivided into 11 or more separate units, and the the house exterior was dirty with peeling paint. That said, the kitchen had nice appliances, the refrigerator was thoughtfully stocked with half and half and the sort of things you'd rather not go out and buy (jelly, mayonnaise, etc), the bathroom was clean with plenty of towels. The apartment was close to the Airport, Marine World, Balboa Park, Coronado, etc, The more we explored the neighborhood (and the house guide had some great restaurant suggestions) the more we liked the apartment, but it was an uphill climb initially.
