What a delightful place to stay. Lovely neighborhood with a few eateries right around the corner. Host is super responsive! We spent a lot of time in Balboa Park so this was the perfect spot. Easy to get to the waterfront, too.

Not My Favorite

Limited parking if any. There is a second rental in the back (not mentioned). The floor is not level which throws off your equilibrium. Very limited space and seating which was uncomfortable. The tv is literally 5 feet from the couch and the couch is against the wall. We payed for 2 nights, but chose to just get a hotel after the first night. Might be ok if your just going there to sleep and don't plan on spending time where your staying at. Location was convenient.
