This house is in a great neighborhood and location! Everything we went to was very close- baseball game, fc stadium, SeaWorld, uss Midway, the zoo including Balboa park. If you love to walk this is the place for you- Balboa park, grocery stores are in walking distance. And to top it off, the area is very dog friendly!

Nice stay
Location is good, walking distance to Balboa park. Recommend to walk to the Zoo, which is 15 minutes compared to 30 minutes of driving in traffic jams and parking during busy weekend hours. Apartment is nice, pretty modern. We had a good time. Thanks

Lovely neighborhood
The space is very clean and many necessities are thoughtfully provided. The neighborhood is awesome! It has easy access to everything we wanted to do in San Diego. Downsides: The couch in the family room is uncomfortable and just does not work for anyone with back or knee problems. A variety of seating options would be nice. Feather pillows kept me sneezing all week. All in all, though, a great place to stay!
