Stayed here for 5 nights; some major pros and cons to share about the property
Pros;
-Adorable rooms, very clean and modern
-Larger sized mini fridge with separate freezer- so much more convenient than ones with interior freezers
-CVS across the street is well stocked with snacks, etc, which was convenient for getting light breakfast and day trip snacks
Cons;
-The pillows are so dense that I (stomach/side sleeper) had to resort to using my sweatshirt as a pillow for our entire stay. Asked the host if they had anything smaller, and they did not. in combination with the very soft bed, my partner and I both struggled to sleep very well over the length of our stay
-Not a cute neighborhood; the side of Balboa park next to the property is a barren hill with a homeless encampment, not as picturesque as some of the other views made the area out to be
-Planes fly very close directly overhead at all hours of the day and night; if you're a light sleeper, be aware
- The views outside your windows will consist of the street, or of the tops of other buildings, not of the park or of downtown
Overall, we enjoyed our stay enough as the interiors were inviting and clean, but would not consider returning as the location was a bit rough, and was not as convenient to get to local attractions (we had to Uber everywhere, very little is walkable). Be aware if you have any mobility issues, multiple flights of stairs to reach this listing.
