As a host, Megan is great. She provides lots of information and recommendations for the surrounding area. We loved exploring Little Italy and Balboa Park (both within walking distance). Little Italy is a 5 min walk, up a short but steep hill and crossing the entrance to the freeway was easy enough. The place is ideally located and this weighs up against the noise, which unfortunately meant we didn't have much rest. The planes do stop mostly between 12am-5am with the odd one at 3am and fly very low, there is a freeway right behind the house then the runway. You can watch them land from across the street. It's cool but very noisy. We heard a lot of noise from the upstairs tentant too, could hear every word of their conversation and footsteps. The place has good amenities, a large fridge freezer which is a bonus and a great shower. The smart lock was easy to use with the app. Overall, I'd only recommend if you don't mind loud noise a lot of the day/ night and if you want a great base to explore SD
