James’s place is absolutely adorable! I stayed with my dog for three weeks, and the space was perfect for us. The backyard is beautiful with the birds chirping in the morning, and the neighborhood is gorgeous. We walked to Balboa Park nearly every day as it was quite literally blocks away. Those complaining about the noise must not have ever lived in an apartment before.. it really was not a bother to me. It’s great distance to lots of restaurants and bars too, I took an uber the first night for 3$ and then realized I could just walk back to the apartment. Very safe, friendly area!
