Our primary reason for renting was they allow pets and the place looks clean. But the bonus is the location. Not only is the unit in Pacific Beach, which has a ton of things to do plus the beach nearby. BUT Iits only 15 min from downtown(San Diego zoo/Midway), 8 minutes to seaworld and LA is less than 2 hrs away! Last time we stayed in downtown and the traffic and parking in downtown affected our ability to enjoy ourselves
