This is a great place to stay near Balboa park. It is particularly good for a family with kids and pets. There is a firmer bed and a softer bed. One bed is also pretty low to the ground which was good for my toddler. There was also some plastic kids dishes. The deck was really nice and calming. We enjoyed using the barbecue and eating with a view. The zoo is just a couple blocks away. Efrain is a great host and was very responsive to our needs. The only con we had was that some times the people upstairs were kinda loud. It is also an airbnb though so that depends on who is up there. Overall it was a great home away from home.
