    I'm just a e-mail, text message, or call away! I can guide you through the check-in process, as well as answer any questions you have while you’re here. San Diego is my favorite city in the world, and I live for helping guests discover why I love it so much.

    My neighborhood, North Park, is one of San Diego’s most historic and funky places to be. It's home to artists, local businesses, a Farmers Market, craft beer, wine bars, sushi spots, handmade ice cream, and your pick of brunch options. Guests love the Hillcrest and North Park’s neighborhood vibe. If you want a bit more, it’s just 3 miles from downtown and The Gaslamp and the Convention Center. Century-old architecture and the ringing of church bells during the day in North Park add to its historic feel. And my house fits right in!

Beautiful place to stay.

Beautiful place and neighborhood. Only draw back is parking can be tricky and a bit of a walk. Home is excellent and great communication with the host and needs. Short commute to balboa park and beaches.

Fine, but it could be better

The location was pretty nice. Everything was 10-15 minutes of where we wanted to go. Now, the couches looked like they could use a cleaning. Apart, from that it was okay even though we got reservation super last minute.

Place is okay……the manager did not respond to any emails I sent regarding internet and missing items……they were more concerned that I leave a 5 star review…..

Bright and Functional Apartment

My daughter loved the bright color of this home and we loved how it had everything we needed! The bathroom was the star with a wonderful spa shower. We didn’t have many issues finding parking. We had two issues when we arrived and Doreen had them resolved within 24 hours. Like most VRBO properties, there are no curtains in the bedrooms (only privacy shades), so recommend you bring your own blackout curtains if you need it very dark to sleep.
