This is in a charming neighborhood of old homes. Many seem to be getting fixed up and appreciated. We loved the balcony and spent time relaxing there. My husband is a private pilot and he loved watching the commercial planes coming in to land. They were close enough to see but not so close that they were too noisy. Once we turned out the lights at night, we opened the curtains so we could lay in bed and enjoy the lights of the city. Ruth provided several choices of tea, coffee, cereal, and bread plus condiments for breakfast. We would definitely come back here if ever in San Diego again.
