Stayed here in August, there is no central air since it's an older building, but was pretty comfortable anyway. There are multiple fans in the rooms. Parking was not an issue by the house and little Italy is right across the freeway and very walkable and fun. I agree that everything is a close walk or cheap uber from this place, including the zoo and gaslight district. I think I was probably a 20 minute drive from la jolla. The house itself is pretty interesting and relaxing, it had its own meditation room, definitely nicer than a private room hostel. Pretty strict check in/out policy but you can leave your bags in the living room if you get in early/stay late. We did not have a problem with this.
