Boot a rescue disk and mount your root partition.  In 
/etc/systemd/system you should see a symlink like:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   36 Mar 29 11:00 default.target -> 
/lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target

Just remove this and re-symlink to /lib/systemd/system/runlevel3.target 
and you should get a level 3 boot.
