James' house was perfect for our family! We had two young kids with us, so the two bedrooms with no shared walls made bedtime much smoother.
The house has great amenities and everything was clean and kid-friendly. We were particularly glad James had a pack-and-play which eased our luggage load considerably.
And the location cannot be beat. Down the street is Balboa Park. A few blocks away were a few cafes where we enjoyed leisurely breakfasts. A few blocks further was the Hillcrest Farmers' Market. We were close enough to highways which made farther adventures easy, too.
If you get a chance to stay at James' house, do it. It'll be one less thing you need to worry about.
