Rick is an amazing host and his house is very clean. That beings said, I was a bit disappointed to find that the house shares a common wall with another house right on the other side. As a result, we could hear pipes and conversation/laughter in the living area but nothing that was obnoxious. Also, although the house is ideally located only 5 minutes from Balboa Park, I did not feel entirely safe in the neighborhood. But, again, it is located 5 minutes from the Zoo, and 10 minutes from Sea World so you need to decide if that outweighs everything else.
