The location Kira's place is great. It's near bus stops and restaurants. Very near to Balboa Park, which is great for exploring, museums, and the promenade. The fenced in large front yard was perfect for kids; they loved the rope swing and the bench swing. The house has lots of room for cooking and everyone had their own space. A real grocery store is a 20 minute walk, but a straight jaunt up. Kira was very quick to respond if we had any questions. A really great place!
