The apartment is small but very thoughtfully put together and maximizes space to include everything you might need. I stayed for 4 weeks and enjoyed it very much. The neighborhood is close to everything - you can walk to the grocery which is 2 blocks away- including restaurants, breweries (I didn't really partake because of the Covid situation but it would be nice to come back), and is almost exactly one mile from Balboa park so is good for runners too. The patio is a lovely place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine in the evenings/afternoons. The neighbors can occasionally be a bit noisy but nothing really obnoxious and that's likely to be true of most densely populated areas. The parking space worked easily for me because I drive a compact car, but it wouldn't work for anything bigger than a compact; however, it was also easy to find a space within 1-2 blocks of the place so no big deal for most people. I didn't need much during my stay, but the host was quick to respond.
