We were visiting for a family wedding. We arrived very late at night, but it was easy to let ourselves into our separate living area and get right to sleep. Our adult son slept on the sofa a couple of nights, and there was no problem sharing space. I really appreciated finding everything ready to brew some fresh coffee in the morning! We did not rent a car, but relied on Uber/Lyft, which was very easy (and affordable) and easily accessed from their location. We often walked to get something to eat in the trendy North Park (about 10 blocks away?) and felt safe doing so. Our hosts have the most adorable, friendly, family and dog. The location does have some freeway noise, but it is more like "white background noise". The 2 fans also served as white noise and kept us comfortable in the warmer than normal temps SD was experiencing. We were busy with lots of relatives in town, the wedding, and a couple of days of sight-seeing, so didn't spend much time hanging out, but I know we would have loved the time to do so. I would certainly stay here again!
