Erik's place was in a great location in Pacific beach. We were easily able to get to the restaurants, shopping, and beach. The space had all of the essentials, although we found it difficult to cool the room. It was consistently too warm and using the screen sliding door eliminated any privacy for the room (also the adjacent walkway and alley way smelled pretty bad of garbage). There was a floor fan which we used any time we were in the room. Check in and check out were easy. Overall, it provided the essentials for us as we spent most our time out and about exploring the area.
