My boyfriend and I had a great time staying here. The area was great as it's walkable to Balboa park and the waterfront. We even walked to Gaslamp, which was about a 30 mins walk. You can hear the planes fly by but it didn't bother us at all.
The house is big and beautiful! There are a lot of rooms in the house so the noise factor can be annoying when the other guests were loud. But plenty of bathrooms which helped! I enjoyed our outdoor shower a lot. The garden and back yard space are beautiful! I sat on the porch one morning and saw a couple of hummingbirds which was lovely.
I would recommend staying here! The common areas were kept clean by Ashley who did a great job of checking us in and giving us a tour of the place. I would definitely stay here again!
