Heart of the Gaslamp District....you don't need a car!
Review Submitted: February 16, 2012

We did rent a car at the airport, but found out that we would have been better off taking a taxi. Everything was within walking distance to this wonderful condo. We walked to the hotel where my seminars were located, and walked all over the district for restaurants.
We came in on Saturday night, finding that this is NOT the time to be driving through the Gaslamp, as the pedestrian traffic and one-way street design is not exactly friendly for those searching for their condo or parking, but it was all good once we got parked. The streets were filled with people looking for a place to eat, drink, or talk. The restaurants line the streets, with their hosts welcoming anyone who stops to read the menus.
The condo itself is a welcoming, clean, well-ordered hide-a-way, with ample windows to let in the crisp air of San Diego. There are ample condiments for cooking, and a washer and dryer for your use. The area is quiet, even when festivals are going on down the street. A Ralph's Grocery store is within walking distance, and a mini-market (Cine) is just down the street. We felt safe in the locked building, and appreciated the parking provided, as there would have been no place for our car without it. A restaurant for breakfast is just around the corner, if you don't want to cook. Petco Park is just a fast pitch away....you can see it from the door of the building.
We would definitely rent this condo again, if we should be so lucky as to be in San Diego. Scott, thanks for sharing your lovely home.
