This is a great place if you want to explore North Park, Balboa Park and the zoo. It's a short drive (5-10 minutes) to the park and there are countless restauarants, bars and breweries within a 10-15 minute walk. I will say this is a pretty young professional neighborhood so if you have kids you might want to get out to dinner a little on the earlier side if you want to feel more comfortable.
However, the apartment is great for a couple or small family with younger children. The street is very quiet and residential. The bed was super comfortable and the apartment was well appointed and very clean.
