Check in was super easy with the electronic door lock on the door. We found the place to be very clean and had everything needed if you wanted to stay in and eat rather than going out. It is in a very quiet neighborhood but only a short walk to the main part of North Park where there were many good restaurants and craft beer pubs. It is close to Balboa Park so that the zoo and all the museums in the park are easily accessible. Would most definitely stay here again if we are in the San Diego area.
