Fabulous location, great amenities

We loved our stay at this centrally located property in San Diego. The unit was clean with everything we needed for a fantastic vacation. The only reason we did not give it 5 stars is the highway noise at night was much greater than we expected. Don't let this deter you from booking, but bring ear plugs!

Good location needs some updates

I have stayed at three different locations in Bay Park. Bay Park is a great location for access to anything in San Diego. This location needs to be updated. The dish washer has lots of rust on the shelves that hold the dishes. The sofa had a hole in it. The layout of the unit is great. The window that look out towards the bay were really dirty.
