Having lived in the neighborhood previously, I knew the location was great. Donna's place provided access to everything we like. In the morning we could go right out the door for runs through Balboa Park or Presidio Park in Mission Hills. During the day we could walk over to La Posta for a tasty California Burritos, down the street to Whole Foods for essentials (i.e. coffee beans, beer, and cheese), and to 4th Ave for gluten-free treats at Starry Lane Bakery. We also spent time visiting friends and dining in University Heights, North Park and Little Italy. All of these neighborhoods could be easily accessed by a quick Lyft ride.
When we were not out and about, the restored 1920's apartment was a nice little oasis for relaxing. I found myself reading in the backyard patio while my wife did her yoga in the living room. I also really appreciated the ability to Chromecast my Netflix and Hulu shows off my iPhone and play my Spotify tunes on the wireless speakers.
