Convenient and safe, 10-15 mins from the ocean, whale watching, sailing, zoo, surf, downtown San Diego, and closer than that to the airport. Very clean. One restaurant within 5 mins turned out to be chef-owned. It provided with ease the best food of our week-long trip. Of note, however: this entire 20 x 20 block of down is right below the airport flight path so it does have flight noise even as the neighborhood is completely and wonderfully quiet otherwise. Owner was attentive and organized. This was so much better than a hotel room.
