Near Little Italy and right by Balboa Park. If you walk to Little Italy be prepared for some exercise, but it is doable. You also have to navigate crossing a busy road. The room is exactly that; a room. Nothing more, nothing less. You have most things you need but pretty tight especially when you unpack luggage, etc. Cute and safe neighborhood. You can walk right next door to a place to eat breakfast and a taco restaurant. If you want a place to just drop your things and explore the city, this place will meet your needs. If you need to spend time inside for an extended time, I would not recommend for you. Clean.
