I loved everything about Raphel's place ! It was a lovely room. The location of the place was very close to downtown and I was able to walk downtown easily. Also the location was only a few minutes drive to old downtown and Balboa Park. Raphel was very responsive to all of my questions. I highly recommend staying here. The only minor issue for me was that the wifi connection kept dropping the connection which I needed for work. I stayed at his place for a week and am looking forward to staying again!
