Cozy craftsman in a fantastic location
Great 3-bedroom craftsman home, with the best of North Park within walking distance. Well-equipped, with everything needed for a pleasant stay. The neighborhood is very safe, with plenty of great urban hikes nearby. Also centrally located for getting around the greater San Diego area. We look forward to staying here again.

House full of character
Overall, this place was clean and has space for the family. The craftsman details and built inside were awesome.
There were only 2 bath towels and one hand towel even though we had booked for a party of 6 people. Other than that, it was a good experience.

Fantastic home away from home
Very clean, beautifully updated while retaining original charm. Very responsive owner, had everything we needed. The backyard was such a nice bonus that we didn't think much about when initially renting. We had breakfast outside a few times and watched the pollinators in the yard. Super close to many desirable areas,so traffic wasn't a worry if we ran into it. Beds were super comfy,a high priority for us. Walkability was great too!Thank you for a great San Diego stay!
