For us this was the perfect AirBnB location. It's in a pretty up and coming neighborhood, parking is easy and free right outside the house and it's within a 5 minute walk to lots of coffee shops and restaurants. It's also within walking distance to Balboa Park - if you are a walker. We walked there and back w/ no trouble.

We were in town for a conference which was in downtown San Diego. If you've ever stayed in downtown it is horrid, so this was much better.

The house itself is at the top of the AirBnB spectrum for this price range. The house is clean and well decorated. The hosts are involved if you want them to be and not if you don't. It has a bathroom, kitchen and dedicated washer/dryer.

There is really no negative to the place that I can think of. There is no AC so you have to rely on fans to cool you, but when we were there it wasn't too bad. If it was 90F+ outside it may be an issue because you are one floor up.

However, that is a small matter. Everything was great and we enjoyed our stay. There was not a single issue. We can honestly say after 20+ AirBnB stays all over the world that this was one of the best.
