Visiting our son in San Diego

This little house is great It's a 1 mile walk into North Park business district and there are a few restaurants that are even closer. The neighborhood is very hilly though, so walking is a little more strenuous than I hoped it would be. Uber pick ups were always very quick. My husband and I loved having 2 bathrooms and the AC worked great!

Close to Balboa Park

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The location is close to Balboa park which has many museums and sites to see. The beds in the house were comfortable. We didnā€™t cook but the kitchen seemed well stocked. The only downside was parking. Perhaps if you live in CA or the big city, the parking is a normal situation. But there is no designated spot. We were able to find a spot each time, but it did require us to drive around for a few minutes before we found one.

Canā€™t beat the location!

Well worth booking just based on location. The comfy beds, 2 bathrooms and privacy only add to the appeal. Also, hosts were super communicative.Only drawbacks:1. Description says ā€œample parkingā€ but please donā€™t expect to drive up and find a space. No matter which day or time we arrived, we had to drive up and down the road at least a few times at least (be prepared to parallel park). Will say we always found a spot eventually2. Apartment is ā€œsurface clean.ā€ Found dirt/hair on baseboards, showers, doors, etc. It could use a deep cleanBut, still, overall super happy with our stay!Thank you!

Perfect location for a long San Diego weekend

The unit was clean and quiet. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms, ideal for adult family members traveling together. Good location: very near Balboa Park (museums and zoo), a short drive from Coronado and beaches; an easy trip up the coast to La Jolla and Torrey Pines State Park. Lots of hiking, sightseeing and restaurants within easy reach.

This was the perfect place to stay while visiting relatives in North Park. The cottage was pristine and beautifully furnished and appointed with wonderful beds, linens and kitchen appliances.

Our stay was great, mainly because of the unbeatable location in a peaceful neighborhood. Being within walking distance of Louisiana Purchase, my favorite restaurant, was a major plus. We loved being able to easily pop over for dinner without worrying about driving or parking. Parking was a bit of a hassle mainly at nights, but that's just part of San Diego living, and it didnā€™t detract any thing from our overall experience. The convenience really made our trip enjoyable.
