Johns place is great! Although it isn’t very close to all of the beaches, it is near gaslamp and little Italy. This is convenient because some of these restaurants/ stores close a bit early so you don’t need much traveling time for evening events, even if you’re taking the electric scooters. Parking was good, the furthest we parked was 1 block away. We also used the kitchen/appliances which were all in good condition. There is a restaurant called el paissa around the block which is a MUST try for burrito and taco lovers!
I would highly recommend his place!
