James's place, the Hawk's Nest, is quite unique. The Hawk's Nest is in the middle of a huge, lush green area filled with flowering plants and large trees. One feels safe and surrounded by nature. It is very easy to stay there and look out the windows into the large green canyon. It is a quick walk into Balboa Park or an easy walk to the # 7 bus stop nearby and catch a bus into Balboa Park or north or south - plus there are other busses to catch in the area, too.
