Lodging was very nice- clean and bright. Good space with extras supplies to go to beach if you wanted. Convenient location - close to Little Italy, Balboa Park, lots of Resturants, churches, and located in a nice neighborhood. Also, close to public transit bus stops. I took a train to Oceanside. It was inexpensive and not crowded at all. Host was very responsive with good communication. I stayed for a week and would recommend the place.
