Varied transportation options to fit all needs
Lyft/Uber: both are readily available throughout San Diego if you don't have a car to get around
Trolley: stops are relatively near our neighborhood and can be a good way to get around in a unique style of transport; operates throughout multiple San Diego neighborhoods
Coaster/Amtrak: whether you want to ride in comfort to Los Angeles or just take a day trip up to Solana Beach/Carlsbad/Oceanside, the trains are a memorable way to travel. We're equidistant the two city stations: the historic Santa Fe Depot downtown and Old Town station just north of us.
Que faut-il apporter ?
Layers are key in San Diego
While we do have moderate weather most of the year, temperatures can vary from day to night. Packing layers is a great way to prepare for warm, sunny days and cooler nights with the ocean breeze.
Our rainy season occurs mostly throughout the winter, so you may need to check the forecast and bring a raincoat or umbrella.
We also experience what San Diegans call May Gray and June Gloom, where the days can be overcast and cooler.
