My husband and I spent a few days over Spring Break at JR & Julie's place. The amenities and decor were excellent and even better than the pictures. We did not do a lot of cooking but could have as their kitchen is fully stocked. We enjoyed walking to coffee shops/restaurants only a couple blocks away. We had a rental car and found that very useful as it was a lengthy walking distance to Balboa Park/Zoo, the pier, etc. One evening we did use Lyft which was very affordable. Little Italy and Old Town were our favorite eating destinations:)
