This is a cool house from the 1920's in a cool neighborhood. It's really close to the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park, with a nice variety of restaurants within a 5-minute driving radius. I would absolutely recommend it for a couple, or a small group, or a small family with school-age kids looking to take in San Diego. If you aren't comfortable in a big-city environment, or an LGBTQ-friendly neighborhood, look elsewhere.
Three things to be mindful of:
1. There were some ants patrolling the bathroom sink in search of water, nothing unusual for an old house in a big city.
2. It's not the most toddler-friendly house. There are a number of vintage, built-in glass cabinet doors that your little one will want to open and close, plus an open fireplace he or she will want to stick their hands in. The only indoor dining table is raised, so you need to sit on tall barstools to eat there. If you aren't comfortable with your little one sitting so high off the ground, try the roof.
3. There's a church directly across the street that chimes on the hour.
