The house is in a small neighborhood not really walking distance from much. However, it is an EXCELLENT location if you have a car. In the span of two days, my friends and I were able to go hiking, explore the beach, check out Balboa Park, see the Gaslamp District, and more. Everything was within a 30 minute drive! (Some places only 10 minutes!) The house itself is absolutely beautiful. It felt like like a very expensive, high quality hotel, except better! You can really see how James took the time to thoughtfully out the rooms together. It's a very comfortable home with many accommodations. Our group cooked a brunch here with no complications. Many supplies, utensils, etc were all provided for! We highly recommend staying here!!!
