South Park Cottage

We had a fantastic stay at this charming cottage! The location was perfect - just a short walk to Balboa Park and close to great restaurants and shops. The private yard was a peaceful bonus. The cottage itself was clean, well-stocked, and very comfortable. We’d definitely stay here again!
