Location location location! The neighborhood is super quiet, and with the street coming to a dead end a block away, there's nary a car that passes by. As long as you don't plan on any heavy duty cooking and cleaning other than some BBQ grilling (and with the plethora of great eats in SD you won't need to!) Ricardo's studio suite is a fantastic home base for exploring San Diego. The bathroom shower, jet tub and bathrobes are wonderful, and sitting in the covered patio was quite nice. It would have been P-to-the-erfect had this unit been completely detached (i.e. no shared wall) from the adjoining unit...was able to hear the murmur of conversation and vice versa I imagine. All in all a very nice place to stay.
