The host was extremely responsive. It was a nice and efficient space. The location was great. Right in the center from everything we wanted to experience.
I give 3 stars for dogs. The house is very small and the only outdoor space wasn't secured with a gate. The neighborhood was mostly concrete. My dog is used to turf. The furniture in room 2 was too big for the space. And, the icemaker was broken! Luckily, we only planned for 3 nights. The neighborhood does have several restaurants.
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 house worked well for our family visit. We were able to walk to dinner and take a short run to Balboa Park. Vety easy for Uber and Lyft to find. Overall great stay.
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. The area was lovely and quiet and close to many of North Park’s trendy restaurants/bars and a short walk to beautiful Balboa Park. Highly recommend!
Nice place to stay close to the zoo, sea world, airport

Thank you for taking the time and leaving us a good review, Charlie , this is greatly appreciated! :) We hope this isn't the last time we get to host you.
The house was as described, very easy to find and get in. We really enjoyed the location. 3 minutes drive to the San Diego zoo, walking distance to a bunch of stores, 15 minutes or less drive to downtown and airport, 15 minute drive to multiple beaches. The neighborhood was very clean and quiet. We would definitely stay again.
Comfortable beds, central AC, newer appliances, parking always attainable and central location

Thank you for taking the time and leaving us a good review, Tiffany , this is greatly appreciated! :) We hope this isn't the last time we get to host you.
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 didn’t detract any thing from our overall experience. The convenience really made our trip enjoyable.
Very clean, nicely furnished, very comfortable beds, conveniently located to the zoo!

A lovely spot! Owners are friendly and communicative. The property is tucked back from the street so it offers privacy, which is especially nice on the patio. We will stay again!

Thank you for taking the time and leaving us a good review, Aloysius ! It was a pleasure hosting you and we look forward to hosting you again!
Nice 2 bedroom/2 bath location that worked perfectly for my grown son and me. The location was perfect for us as we could walk to who we were visiting in Northpark. Very cute and comfortable, much better than staying in a hotel.

Mostly loved the place and location. Host was responsive and helpful. House was difficult to find at first. It would be nice to have more hooks for clothes, towels, etc.
Apartment great, parking very difficult especially evenings.
1st time vacationing from an apartment. loved it. So quiet and comfortable. Home made breakfast.

The pictures of the house was accurate. The patio was lovely to sit in and relax. There was plenty of room for our family of 4. The kitchen had all the necessary utensils.

Hi Stephanie! Thank you for leaving such a good review. We hope to host you again in the future.
Loved our stay in north park! Plenty of space for our family - two beds and two baths!! Plenty of bedding and towels, full set of wine glasses and much more! Enjoyed using the side patio. Had a car and street parking was never a problem. Would definitely stay again.

Hi Ariana! We are glad that you have enjoyed your stay! It will be our pleasure to host you again in the future. :)
Nice little house. Parking is a premium. If you arrive in the late afternoon or evening be prepared to park blocks away and walk from the car to the house.
