This place was tidy and pleasant. It's not the best place to just "hang out" but it is great as a jumping off point to North Park, Balboa, etc. About 15 min drive to the beach. The space itself is a little small and not as conducive to laptop working as other places we've been. But for the price point, this is a very good deal. Clean, safe, well-stocked with kitchen amenities, etc.
