Great central location, walking distance to plenty of restaurants, bars and shops. Also still manageable walking distance to the zoo and Balboa Park, so we usually left the car and just walked (neighborhood felt very safe to walk even later at night). The place was comfy with a well equipped kitchen, only problem was the noise form the upstairs rental as the floors are not well insulated and we could hear them coming home every night at 2:30 or 3 am during the long weekend. Of course they may not have enjoyed our blender running for a breakfast smoothie at 7:30 am either if they went too bed that late... ;-)
