Mark and Chad's guest house was just as described and perfect for our needs. My wife and I came for a "baby moon" so apart from walkability and a great central location (Northpark is GREAT), we also needed some peace and quiet to work on a few things before the baby comes. We are walkers so we walked to every breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as into Balboa park. We felt very safe at all times of the day and found every type of food or snack we had a hankering for within a 10-15 min walk. And one of our faves was the Thursday afternoon farmer's market down the street. To top it off the place was immaculately clean and comfortable. Thanks for the stay, gentlemen!
