The house is in a very quiet/residential neighborhood and that was exactly what we were looking for! We stayed here for 4 days with a 2yo kid and there was plenty of open space in the house and backyard for the kid to run around. The views from the backyard are unbelievable as mentioned in other reviews but what we loved the most is the convenient location of this house is close to all the popular attractions in the city (Balboa park, La Jolla etc)! Definitely coming back to this house/city soon.
