Excellent stay at this lovely home in North Park. Location can't be beat, short walk to Balboa Park and restaurants. The house was well stocked, we had two toddlers with us and the space was great for kids. Beds were very comfy as well. We loved this property! Would definitely stay here again.

Outstanding Craftsman Home in GREAT location

We loved everything about our stay. The decor and amenities were perfect and it was so homey for our family. We needed a few things and the host responded and gave a QUICK solution. We wish we could have stayed longer. Great mattresses, gorgeous appliances, and comfortable for a few of our family to join us for dinner!
