    You`ll be just a 4-7 minute drive or Lyft ride from top attractions like the Gaslamp District, Convention Center, Seaport Village, SeaWorld, and the San Diego Zoo. San Diego’s beaches, Coronado, and the La Jolla cliffs are also 10-20 minutes away, while the airport is a quick 7-8 minutes drive.

We had a great stay and are happy to leave 5 stars. The location was excellent with very easy access to Little Italy. The bed was extremely comfortable, the space was very clean, and we really appreciated how well stocked everything was. The listing accurately noted that it’s close to the airport and directly under the flight path, and it was quite noisy at times despite earplugs and sound machines. Overall, a great spot in a convenient location.
