Really, John's place provides everything you could possibly need! I had a wonderful time when I was here + the bed is large and very comfortable. In a very real sense, I was "Near it All." Great restaurants, both healthy and indulgent, are all within walking distance. I also received an amazing massage (literally best I’ve ever had) from Stephanie, who works at Kuba Uchi House of Massage in Golden Hill, which is just down the street. 10/10. Additionally, I recommend Cafe Madeleine (about a 15-minute walk away) and Rad Habits Juice Co. The area felt very safe for a solo traveler, was charming, and although there was some noise from the activity, it was not very disruptive. John was an excellent host; he frequently checked in on me and was quite communicative!
