Faboulous Accomodation and Surrounding Area
Place is outstanding, clean and bright. Neighborhood is beautiful and walkable with local restaurants and stores within a very short distances. Nearby homes give the vibe they are in a gardening competition - charming. On street parking is easy. Host was most helpful in resolving concerns and questions.

Great place!
This was a very clean and comfortable property, with all the amenities you'd like and is exactly as shown/described. Be prepared for some airport noise and know that the property has 4 units in close proximity, which means you'll likely hear your neighbors who share walls. If you're used to apartment living, this won't be an issue..

Such a gem!
This apartment is located perfectly near all the neighborhood restaurants and shops, and around the corner from Balboa Park.
The studio is a great size with washer / dryer, kitchen, and lots of sunlight.
One of the coolest parts about staying here is the communication from the friendly host as well as the ridiculously easy checkin and checkout process.
I’ll be back again!!
