Unique, wonderful place to stay in residential neighborhood between airport and Balboa Park. Easy walk to restaurants and park. Public areas and baths are beautifully furnished. Lovely landscaping. Great jacuzzi. Well-equipped kitchen is perfect for cooking your own meals. The "staircase" to the loft is quite narrow and steep, but I had no problem with it, even carrying luggage. Like most places on Bankers Hill, it is in the flight path for jets landing at the airport, so it can be noisy, although the flights do stop during sleeping hours. Good place to meet other travelers, friendly eclectic international bunch when I stayed in October.
