The place was very clean and felt very safe. The building seems to be all Airbnbs with a great security system of having several coded entries to get through. We stayed on the fourth floor, there is no elevator but we knew that. The view was awesome, especially at sunset. The bed was wonderfully soft for me, but too soft for my hubby. Location is great, right next to Balboa Park. Walking distance (if you're used to walking) to the Zoo, little Italy and Gaslamp district. We did not need a car at all. There is an excellent coffee shop around the corner, called Monstra.
