This place is one of the few locations in San Diego where you don’t really need a car. First of all it’s in Hillcrest which is a fun neighborhood with good nightlife. If you’re ok with walking, it’s also a pleasant stroll to Balboa Park, the zoo, Old Town, and even the Gaslamp. The host is very communicative and the place is private. It also has everything you need if you want to stay in for a quiet night.
