We had a great stay at Richard's place. The location is excellent, we loved being able to walk to the zoo and Balboa Park. The surrounding neighborhood is very nice and safe. Easy to get access to the major highways if you want to spend time on the beaches or head north.
The space itself is a good value. The backyard is lovely. We always found a parking space in front of the house. They provided us with drinks and a few snacks. Richard's wife was very accommodating and very nice to our young son we took on the trip with us. They seem like great people.
I would definitely recommend staying here!
