Five star stay. Spacious, clean, prompt communication with hosts, great location.
As you might expect as it is directly across the street from the ocean, there is street traffic during the day, slow-moving cars, people looking for parking spaces, etc. That drops off to nothing after sunset, and you can hear the waves. No restaurants/bars on either side, so it's quiet.
Rec's: Parakeet Cafe beats Buzz for coffee, Richard Walker Pancake House is delicious and they don't mind if you linger, Artifact restaurant at the Mingei in Balboa Park is by far the best option if you are looking for a meal in BP. I'm familiar with the offerings there, and this place is the best.
