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.

Great week stay

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.

Sweet cottage in San Diego

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!

Clean. Quiet. Close to Balboa Park

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!

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.

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.

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.
