Like some of the other reviews said, the pictures don’t do this place justice. We stayed here for about a month in august and couldn’t have asked for better. It’s two blocks from balboa park, 20 minutes max from any of the surfing beaches in San Diego, and 30 minutes from mission gorge for climbing. Little Italy, Hillcrest, and the gas lamp district are 20 minutes walk away. We def made use of the pool and hot tub. Didn’t use the gym, but it looked like it had what you needed. Kris and Bob made check in and out super easy. WiFi worked great for two people working 8 hours a day/5 days a week for a month. Pull out couch was perfect for a friend who visited. Excellent choice; highly recommend.
