On a scale of 1 to 5, would give this location a 10. You can't find a hotel that is this well-situated between Balboa Park and the restaurants and coffee shops on University. And the street is a narrow converted alley--easy to get to but very quiet!
The house has recently finished hardwood floors and spacious bedrooms. We slept 6 people in comfort and there is room for more with a couch/futon on the split level with the upstairs bathroom.
The backyard has a nice outdoor table and plenty of lighting. It was a very pleasant place to enjoy a take out meal from a nearby Thai restaurant.
