Wolf accommodated my early check in at 2pm as the normal checkin is at 3pm. Thank you for it! The place is located in a peaceful residential area, about 10-15min walk to catch bus to get to Balboa Park or city centre. The area is quite safe at night as I walked back from the bus station at 9pm, a bit dark but safe. Houses in the area are lovely. I stayed in the ground floor of the two floors backyard studio. The ceiling is thin so you can hear the footsteps of your Upfloor neighbor, which I am fine with it. Just in case you are sensitive to noise, the upfloor room may be better for you. The place is exactly how it is described.
