Russell's place is really a gem - self-contained bedroom with private bath, all beautifully appointed and clean. I loved having my own small fridge and microwave in the room, yet being able to use the full kitchen as well. Russell is friendly and Luca (his dog) even friendlier. The location couldn't be better. It's across the street from Balboa Park. I took a beautiful 5 mile run and, since it was Sunday, had my breakfast at the famous Hillcrest Farmers' Market. Hope to stay again with Russell soon.
