If you are looking for a place near Balboa park and a quick drive to the city, this place is what you are looking for. My husband and I stayed here for our trip to San Diego and we absolutely loved it! It is a neat and comfortable space that has mostly everything that you need. James was a great host and was super helpful if I needed something. I really appreciated his guidebook about San Diego and what restaurants, clubs and other places to go to as well. Driving or walking to places didn't take to long, pretty much everything is close from this location. Jame's place is near Balboa Park which I highly recommend to go. There are many museums, the zoo (which is the best I have been to so far) and many more. It could take a few days to really explore the place. Overall, the place is great!
