Walkable neighborhood
We enjoyed the proximity to many San Diego attractions. We walked to breakfast, dinner, and ice cream with lots of great spots to choose from. Easy drive to Balboa Park, Coronado, and Gas Lamp. The home was comfortable. We loved the rooftop deck for a fun spot to hang out, but there are close neighbor windows, so not private. The courtyard patio was a good spot for our little dog to get some outside time. A couple of things to note, the main bedroom is up a flight of narrow stairs with no door, and street parking is hard to find on Friday and Saturday nights.
