The best part of this place was it's location. It's within easy walking distance of the major attractions in Balboa Park and some really good restaurants, and it's a short drive away from the San Diego Zoo, Gaslamp Quarter, North Park, and Hillcrest. With the exception of the planes flying into the airport (which will be an issue wherever you stay in downtown SD), it was also a very quiet neighborhood.
This place has some quirks--a small second bathroom without a lock on the door, light switches in odd places (e.g., just outside the door to the front bedroom, next to the closet door opposite the entry in the back bedroom), and lower than average doorknobs--but it's a really nice space that fits three well.
