We enjoyed our stay in this little gem. The accommodations met our needs and the location was walkable to fun restaraunts, shops and breweries. It is located near a grocery store and Uber/Lyft rides to San Diego attractions were reasonable.
Clean. Photos are a little outdated. The space is more worn than shown, but clean and convenient.

Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
We did not realize there were stairs from the living room to the bedroom and bathroom. Perhaps I missed it on the advertisement. The living room furniture was uncomfortable. I’ve never seen such a small ice cream tray in my life. Where did you find it?Ha ha. it was quiet and the location in North Park was nice. Parking was difficult, but we survived..

We're glad the North Park location and quiet setting worked well for the stay. The cottage is a 2-story layout, with interior stairs leading up to the bedroom and bathroom, and this along with parking notes for the neighborhood are included in the listing's additional information. We hear the feedback on the living room sofa's comfort, and we'll keep that in mind. We appreciate the honest feedback and hope it helps future guests know what to expect.

Cute and comfortable
Cute place and will definitely book again when we are in town again. Perfect for my husband and I. The place was very clean, had a comfortable bed, and had everything we needed. For being in a busy town, it was pretty quiet inside. Beware of parking, that is how Northpark, San Diego is, but the area is in a great location for a quick Uber trip or a short walk
Everything worked out great. Price is right and very convenient to where my daughter and her fiance live. Walkable area for a dog-owner. Upstairs bedroom and landing is a bit tight for two suitcases but we made it work.
The home is in a perfect location with easy access to everything. The only drawback was that the patio wasn’t fully private, which I would have loved for my doggies — but they still had an amazing time! The home itself was beautiful, the neighborhood was quiet, and the overall atmosphere made me feel very comfortable and welcomed.
Small place, with everything we needed close to coffee, groceries and many restaurants. Surprisingly quiet for its location, we slept well and enjoyed our visit.
