Sofia's place is on such a good location. We went to the zoo, Balboa Park, paragliding and a few downtown eats and it was in such a central location. Like others have mentioned, please read her full description. We had no issues with noise or the homeless, but if that bothers you, this probably won't work out. Sofia is an excellent host though, offering great tips about places to visit as well as parking (which can be an issue). We ended up just using one of those parking lots and walking to our room. Which again, if you have an issue with homeless they are around the area, especially at night. The place is very cute with one of those old style tubs and a full kitchen. Would recommend if you're looking for an affordable spot downtown!
