A home away from home in North Park, #13 on Forbes' list of the 'hippest' neighborhoods in the US. This 1926 historic Spanish villa ('Villa Barajas') combines old world charm with designer style and modern amenities in.

This beautiful second floor suite exudes charm and has a private balcony overlooking an historic church. Step onto the balcony each morning and enjoy coffee or breakfast and some of the best weather in the country. There are windows on all four sides, making the space bright, airy and serene.

This suite is the latest to come on line in this building and is comparable to other suites in the villa that have been in service since July, 2013. Please see these listing numbers for other positive reviews of our guests: 471900, 422746, 471897.
