This is a cute place close to Little Italy, downtown, and Balboa park. There are nearby buses to just about everywhere. The place is small but has a cute character. There are tons of great restaurants within walking distance, and of course all sorts of activities available in Balboa Park.
The only downsides are that the place is right under the flight path to the airport, which we knew in advance. When the doors and windows are closed it is pretty quiet, but that means it has to be closed up. Not a huge deal, but we were there for 9 weeks and it got old toward the end. The bed in the back room has a rather creaky frame. We are light sleepers so that was not great for us.
