Hermoso bungalow cerca del parque Balboa, el zoológico, el centro / centro de convenciones y el océano

We are sorry to hear that you had a less than ideal vacation but thank you for staying and for the review, it is definitely useful for future guests to be reminded that the home is located in an urban area and we are not exempt from any issues, good or bad, that occur in a city. We usually don't get the "not ideal location" feedback since we are only a mile from downtown, the zoo, and Balboa Park. Our backyard backs up to a pretty popular restaurant's parking lot so you may have just been hearing patrons leaving from the restaurant. We do have white noise machines to help with the city noise. We also have a very high and solid fence all the way around the backyard so the backyard is completely private and secure. As for safety, we visit a few times a year with our 5 year old children and don't feel unsafe walking around the neighborhood but we lived there for ten years so we are used to the urban vibes. Certainly, if you have never lived in a city or don't visit one often it may be a bit of an adjustment. There is a montessori school two houses down and a really lovely playground that we walk to about two blocks away at the Golden Hill Rec Center. However, it is an urban neighborhood so we are as cautious as we would be in any city. I will also mention that the homeless population has quadrupled since Covid began but that is the case throughout all of San Diego and not just unique to our neighborhood. With regard to the house size, we agree with minimizing adults in the home and more than 4-6 adults may feel cramped. Two of the bedrooms are based on two person occupancy so if this wasn't the case for your group than I can definitely see how you would have felt cramped. The bunk space has 6 twin beds in one room so this room is definitely better suited for children or one or two adults max. We typically warn groups larger than 6 adults that they may feel cramped but we have groups that choose to book anyway. Thanks again for your feedback.
