If I could give it 6 stars, I would

I have stayed in several VRBOs around the world, and this is the best I have ever stayed in. Excellent quiet location in North Park, exceptionally well equipped with everything you would want for a short or a long stay, including a really nice and nicely equipped back yard. Communications with Mick and Lynn were very speedy. Next time I am in San Diego I will definitely want to stay here!

Our Holiday In San Diego

This was our second stay at this North Park house. The property is very well kept and offers more than comfort, i.e. the beautiful garden and general decor inside the house which surpasses most holiday lets. The owners were more than hospitable. Special thanks to them both for their kindness. Special memories of this place will last.

Wonderful Stay

We had a lovely stay. Communication with host Mick was very smooth. The house itself is thoughtfully decorated and has everything you could need (and more). We loved the neighborhood feel and proximity to restaurants, shops, and Balboa Park. We also appreciated the beautiful landscaping and backyard patio for relaxing and dining el fresco. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful Home, Amazing Neighborhood

This home is even better than the listing. My husband, two kids, and I stayed for almost a week and had all of the amenities of home, including step stools for the kids, laundry supplies, and more. We loved being able to walk to some great restaurants, a coffee shop, and a grocery store, and the easy proximity to Balboa Park and anywhere else we wanted to go was a definite perk. The neighborhood felt quiet and safe and a private back patio was a beautiful oasis and a nice place to relax once the kids went to sleep. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for a great home away from home in San Diego!

Great house, great spot and great hosts. Perfect for our family of 4

What a great little house. It was a perfect location for getting to all the things we wanted to do in San Diego and situated in a cool neighborhood that has its own things to offer as well. Hosts were very attentive and clearly went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. Would recommend to anyone!

Why they chose this property

Recently remodeled, great location with restaurants within walking distance, located between South Park and North Park on the east side of Balboa Park, San Diego

What makes this property unique

Thorn Street Brewery is a block away, Santos coffee place opposite brewery.
There's small market within half a block, barber, hair dresser on a quiet street, in an out of the way back block of North Park. Baron's Market on north end of Bancroft St, about 5 minutes away.
Scooters are usually close by though they're getting rarer as the craze wears off. Rideshare (Uber and Lyft) are a great way to get around.
