That palm-lined terrace overlooking Balboa Park is the kind of outdoor space that makes a San Diego trip feel complete – fire up the barbecue as the park's palms sway in the background and you'll understand why this apartment is hard to leave. Inside, hardwood floors run from the kitchen through to the corner living room, where light pours in from multiple aspects. The Gaslamp Quarter, Little Italy, and the San Diego Zoo are all within walking distance, making this a well-placed base for a group wanting to explore the city without the hassle of a hire car.

Home truths
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. Request them ahead of arrival to make sure they're ready for you.
There's no onsite parking here – street parking nearby comes with restrictions, so we recommend checking local rules before you drive in or hiring a car only if you need one.
This is a quieter-group home. Noise ordinances in the neighbourhood are strictly enforced, and violations can result in significant fines – so it's best suited to guests who prefer a relaxed, low-key stay. No exterior amplified music is permitted.
The apartment has a lift, and children under thirteen will need an adult with them when using it.

About Downtown San Diego
Downtown San Diego has a vibe all of its own. Whether you want craft beer or fine dining, the place is a foodie's dream. With fresh farmer's markets, Italian and Asian delis, and heaps of restaurants and bars, no two meals (or nights) need to be the same in Downtown. The iconic Gaslamp Quarter transports you to another time with its preserved historic buildings and (you guessed it) romantic gaslamps....
