Rick’s place is in an awesome location that is a stones throw away from awesome bars, restaurants, and everything Balboa Park has to offer! With that awesome location it is great for a small family (like mine) with toddlers, to a group of friends wanting to see all San Diego has to offer.
Although I live and work full time in San Diego, my residence doesn’t allow children/roommates (Navy ship), so this spot was perfect for my family. We mainly stayed in (and the house/kitchen were great for that) but enjoyed countless runs/walks in and around Balboa, and it was only a short commute from the Navy Base which meant I could immediately get back to family time when I was done with work. Additionally, it had great WiFi which was a must for my wife as she worked remotely.
It was slightly expensive but after getting checked in, it was very much worth the price and had everything a family of 3 and a dog could want or need! Highly recommend!
