Forbes magazine named North Park as one of America's best hipster neighborhoods, noting that culturally diverse North Park is home to Craftsman cottages, cafes and diners, coffee shops, several microbreweries, boutiques, and the North Park Farmers Market. The North Park Theater and the Ray Street Arts District are also bastions of creativity in the area'. The Los Angeles Times writes: 'North Park has all the ingredients for the cool school: It's culturally diverse and has art galleries, boutiques, trendy bars with handcrafted cocktails and local brews, and foodie-approved eateries.'

An eclectic and diverse array of restaurants, as well as independent coffee shops, can be found along the main arteries of 30th Street and University Avenue. The area is also dotted with bars and night clubs that cater to a wide diversity of patrons. Downtown North Park contains the Ray Street Arts District. Ray at Night is a gallery walk held the second Saturday of every month in North Park. It is the largest and longest running art walk in San Diego's history. Nearby, the Birch North Park Theatre reopened after major renovations in 2005. It is the home of Lyric Opera San Diego.

North Park has a Farmers Market every Thursday which has been listed as one of the top 40 in the USA. The market is located in the parking lot at University and 32nd Streets. The Spring/Summer hours are 3pm-sunset, Fall/Winter 2pm-Sunset. They feature over 35 independent vendors; locally grown produce/flowers; gourmet/ethnic foods; arts and crafts; books; and, often, live music.

Walk a few blocks to Balboa Park, restaurants, cafes, golf, community pool, tennis, recreation. 5 minutes to downtown -- Little Italy, The Gas Lamp Quarter, Seaport Village, Convention Center, the famous San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park and museums, Old Globe Theatre. 10 min to beaches and other major attractions, including Coronado Island and Seaworld.

After a fun-packed day of sight-seeing, enjoy the tranquility of the spacious grounds with gas grill, ping pong table and delightful seating areas.

Great North Park stay
The rental was super cute and clean and offered everything we needed and more. Very well stocked. Beth and Gail were very responsive. The location is awesome as anything you’re looking for is within walking distance or short Uber ride away. The mattress was not as supportive as we like. We kept getting swallowed up in the middle. The water pressure wash fantastic. The patio is nice with plenty of room. We would definitely stay there again!

Tiny paradise
This place is in a great location within North Park. This unit is quiet, private, and clean with all the upgrades. I’d recommend this to a single traveler that needs to stay in SD at least a week. It’s a bit pricey and the dishwasher was broken. But I’d still recommend this tiny paradise.

Enjoyable stay
Property met my expectations based on the listing. I would recommend this property for 2 guests. Nice location with several restaurants within walking distance. Needed an Uber to get to the airport, downtown and Mission Beach. Unit was clean and the backyard was nice. No one came out there while I was there.

Cute and Quaint
My husband and I recently visited for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary. The rental was clean and had everything we needed from beach towels to a full kitchen (we never cooked but could have). Our favorite part about this rental was the location. We were just a 10 minute Uber to the city areas and a 20-minute ride to the beach. We also loved getting out and finding cute places to eat in the area for breakfast and we were not short of options! Communication for check-in was simple and understandable and we really appreciated the added details for using the shower in the rental. We would definitely stay here again if ever in San Diego!

Good rental
We stayed for 5 nights and found it very convenient and a central location to many areas (zoo, Balboa Park, downtown, airport, etc.). The unit was great - shower was nice, kitchen was well equipped, air conditioning, convenient to have a washer/dryer in the unit. We liked the little touches such as the spice rack, small food containers, ice maker, environmentally friendly cleaning products, iron and ironing board, ping pong table outside, etc. It was also a nice quiet/safe neighborhood to walk around with coffee shops and restaurants nearby.

A cozy comfortable place for a couple to stay
We enjoyed the suite and appreciated many of the amenities this cozy suite has to offer. Great appliances, comfortable bed, adequate kitchen and really enjoyed the deep sink and garburator. Wonderful shower! It’s obvious the owners have given much thought to what their guests will need. We would have given a five star but the laminate floor needed to be cleaned, otherwise everything else was very clean. I also had a couple of suggestions for making it easier for guests staying longer then overnight. (I told Matthew, the manager and he was receptive to what I had to say.) Could use a couple more tea towels, a dish clothe and perhaps a dish rack. The pots and pans need to be replaced since the teflon is scratched. My suggestions above would only improve an already very nice place to stay so don’t let this stop you, I would stay in this suite again for sure! I should also mention how nice it was to have off street parking but would be best for small cars. The location is great, we walked to the farmer’s market on Thursday and walked to the gym a few times as well. Very quiet neighborhood and we felt safe.

Wonderful accommodations and charming neighborhood
We could not have been more satisfied or pleased to have chosen this suite. It was the perfect location. Neighborhood was delightful and well maintained. Inside was beautiful and very high quality in all aspects. We had everything we needed in kitchen and bath. Very nice accommodations! The patio was spacious and gave us an a nice outdoor retreat to enjoy the sunshine. Parking was never a problem. I would highly recommend this property We were completely satisfied and would definitely return.

It was in a good location and great for two people
The studio was exactly as described. It was not easy to find. I would recommend you plan to park in front if you have anything other than a small vehicle. The over and shower were a little different to operate and took time to learn, but the place was extremely clean. The internet and television were easy to operate and had adequate speed and channels available.

Great little studio in the heart of North Park
I enjoyed my stay in the sudio on Grim Street, San Diego. The unit was clean, comfortable and well located. The amenities made for a delightful stay. I did not need to cook, but could've made a complete meal. The unit is located near many restaurants, coffee shops and take-away places.

Great unit and location, figuring out which unit was ours was challenging, could be marked better
It would really help to have been provided with a map of these units so could tell which was ours, address marking was confusing. The garage off back looked like a unit with same lock boxes. Other than that it was great and we would rent again!

Great location.
This was a comfortable, cute room with all you need for a weekend getaway. Loved that you could walk to restraunts and breweries. Only issue was the shower that seemed to go between hot and cold for no reason. The room was very quiet and I was thankful that the property had some parking since street parking is difficult to find. Would stay here again.

Clean, Cozy, and Wonderful Location
While definitely a small studio, it has everything you need in a wonderful location. I lived here for a month while finding a long term place to live, and ended up falling in love with the whole North Park neighborhood. The owners are also extremely responsive, which was a great +. I definitely would recommend to short therm and long term renters alike!

About the host

Hosted by Beth Galdieri

Host profile image
We love homes, vacations, people, and customer service. Making people happy in beautiful environments is our 'thing.'

Why they chose this property

When we saw this building, with its old world charm and quaint sophistication- we knew that we had to own it, renovate it- and then provide fabulous, beautiful, comfortable and 'cool' accommodations where people could relax, enjoy the Park, the Zoo, the many restaurants- all within the context of an authentic, local San Diego experience.

What makes this property unique

This building is thought to have been owned a century ago by an historic church nearby and resided in by church members or out of town visitors. It is a beautiful building and stands out as regal yet simple. This combination of simplicity and beauty attracted us.
