What a lovely place to stay! I thought the house had excellent facilities, and as a solo single traveller using public transport, this house was in a great location - walking distance from downtown transport links, little italy, and also walkable to hillcrest bars and restaurants. The midtown area is safe and one of the nicest i wandered around in san diego - so many nice gardens and plants! i stayed in the attic room which was cosy and private. I will say that the stairs are very steep and narrow, and luckily i didn't have a big suitcase, but I imagine that it would be quite difficult to lift one up there....
If you like aviation this house will make you smile as it is at the top of the hill on the airport flightpath just before planes descend on to the runway. I liked watching them, but if you hate loud noises this may annoy you. bring earplugs....
I'd definitely stay here again if i return to San Diego. Thanks Michael & Eric!
