Really enjoyed the neighborhood. Made nearly daily visits to Center Market for excellent prepared salads as well as a selection of grilled sandwiches and other foods. Had a limited, but useful, amount of groceries.
Several good restaurants within a few blocks and Little Italy was about a 10-15 minute walk away. Balboa Park was also a 7 or 8 minute walk. We did not find it annoying but there will be significant noise when planes are landing and taking off from the airport which is close by. It would be more bothersome in the warmer weather when outside more. NOTHING disrupted our sleep and we remained well-rested. Would rent this place again in a heartbeat.
