The location was perfect! Less than a 5 minute to get on the highway and less than a 10 minute drive to several groceries stories. You’re located right across the street from Balboa and a walk down the street to get to the main entrance. Down the opposite side of the street is a nice trail through with an overhead bridge to get you to the neighborhoods bordering Balboa Park with lots of coffee shop, food etc… A full size and fully stocked kitchen & bbq pit help with prepping full meals. The mattresses were a welcomed comfort, and (I didn’t even feel the movement of my travel mate sleeping next to me that I’m inclined to buy that brand to replace mine!) after long days venturing out into the city & zoo. The washer and dryer were a must and a plus. There is ample street parking. Words of caution, the driveway is too narrow for large vehicles/SUV and the drop of at the curb is the second reason to park in the street. Since it’s an older home the bathroom isn’t as large as modern built home but at the end of a long day all you need is a good shower! You do have to pass through the main bedroom to get to the second bedroom and the reverse if you have to use the restroom at night so I recommend this stay for a family of four or close group of friends. It worked just fine for us. I would stay again, if traveling w my family!

Could use some updating and minor repair. But overall, an excellent value for the neighborhood. Great location.

The Home was clean, the bed was fine and everything seemed to work OK. Note to owner… The outlet in the kitchen where the coffee machine was located is not working, but the one on the other side of the room does. Also, you may want to get some Drano in the bathroom sink… It’s a little slow draining other than that. Everything seemed fine.

The house was easy to find and access. It was clean and had everything we needed. The only problem we had was the noise coming from the streets around the house is extremely loud. The adjoining units tenants TV could be heard all night long. The walls are paper thin. Just be aware if you are a light sleeper like me you may have issues. I didn't sleep 3 of the 4 nights so we checked out early.
