Going to the zoo, zoo, zoo

This is a very convenient location for our primary reason to come to San Diego, th zoo! Easy walk to the entrance that allowed us to avoid any traffic hassles. Great walks through Balboa Park too. Even made the relatively quick trip to La Jolla to see the pelicans, sea lions and dip our toes in the sand. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The house is in a great spot as well (Hillcrest) and literally walking distance to the Zoo. We are already talking about staying there next year when we come back to visit San Diego!
