This is my second time staying at this place and I still enjoy it immensely. The front door is directly in front of the sidewalk on Kettner. You can walk out without interacting awkwardly with other people in a building, making it feel very private for a place in the middle of Little Italy. It is easy to walk anywhere within Little Italy and downtown San Diego. I enjoy walking to the harbor and Seaport Village from this place. When I am done socializing and need to recharge my social batteries, I know I have this quiet place to relax until I'm ready to go back out and socialize again! If you like Opera, the music resonates beautifully here, as well. Being that this place is so close to the street, you would think that it can get loud but it does not. The noise outside really doesn't bleed into the calmness of this place. Clean and relaxing, I highly recommend this place and look forward to coming again next year!
