The place was small, but well furnished and more than enough room for two people who spent most of the time exploring the city. The outdoor shower and shared washer and drier (bring quarters, but were only 50 cents each) made it easy to avoid bringing back tons of sand. The central location puts most everything on Mission Beach and Pacific Beach within walking distance. All the other areas we wanted to visit (La Jolla, Gaslamp, Downtown, Balboa Park, etc) were within a 15-30 minutes drive. The area also felt safe, even when we walked back at night, though I’d suggest sticking to the boardwalk as there is usually more pedestrian traffic.
