Alan's place was just right for us. It is so close to great attractions like the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park and Little Italy. It is in a lovely neighborhood near the Hillcrest District with lots of restaurants and stuff to do. We had a great stay and the neighborhood was quiet. We enjoyed the outside area and ate a few meals out there with friends. Even though it is street parking, we could almost always find parking right outside or just a little ways across the street. We would definitely stay here again if given the chance. Thanks Alan!
