This was a cute and stylish place in a great location. We had only 2 full days in San Diego. John's place would have been nice for a longer trip too... we probably would have used the grill and table in the lovely little private back yard area if we had more than 2 days. We went to the zoo (actually hiked there through balboa park all morning) and enjoyed it with our 2 year old in the afternoon. We took a Lyft back to the house in the early evening. We liked the neighborhood. You could walk to restaurants and cafes. We went to Krakatoa and Influx. I thought the atmosphere was nice at Krakatoa, but the food/coffee was definitely better at influx--hearty croissant egg sandwiches and nice cold pressed coffees. For dinner the second night, we ordered pizza from Luigi's and that was super good for a decent price. We took public transportation and did a lot of walking and made it out to see Coronado the second day. The beach was amazing and buying full day public transport was worth it as you can use the bus system in Coronado as well. John's place was the perfect quiet spot after being exhausted from really busy days exploring.
We had one issue getting the wifi to work and we got super service and the issue was fixed immediately!!! Thanks to John (and Jessie) for the great stay and helpful info.
