Disclaimer: Everything i am saying below is a reflection of the location, not the host. Melinda was extremely gracious and helpful even though she was out of town during our stay. Melinda, you were great, but i must inform the future guests of a few things that weren't apparent when i booked this.

Aside from some small plumbing problems (which Melinda was kind enough to provide us with a 10$ refund for), this was perfect for our needs on this trip. By the time anyone reads this i am sure the issues will be fully addressed if they haven't been already. We didn't need to be there much so it worked out. The sofa bed was painfully uncomfortable, but we thankfully had our air mattress with us. Consider bringing one if staying in this room.

Be aware: planes fly DIRECTLY over the house at low altitudes. and there is no air conditioning so you HAVE to keep the window and/or side door open. This means that at 630am = you, awake. You will not sleep through it. I am a HEAVY sleeper and it woke me up all 3 days in a row.

Other than that, everything was smooth as silk. Easy access to Liberty Station, the beach, sea world, and the zoo / balboa park. Location is this spot's greatest asset. Very convenient.

Sorry this was a bittersweet review, but it was a bittersweet stay.
