This property is more affordable than most SD rentals. It has an upstairs bedroom with a queen size bed and a living room sofa which could accommodate another person. The unit is clean and has basic kitchen appliances, tv, internet, and bathroom shower. Neighborhood is mostly residential but is walkable to stores, restaurants, a park.

Amazing location!!!

Great location, supermarket nearby, bus stops, coffee shops, brewery's 5 min walk away. Balboa Park so close, walkable if you fancy it. Owners were super helpful and contactable if you have any questions. There was a slight issue one morning with the hot water but it was sorted out the same day and a bottle of champagne was waiting for us when we got back for the trouble.The neighbourhood was safe, not loud, a nice quiet area but lots of things to do.Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here šŸ˜€

Home away from home

The property was great in a great location very conveniently located by all the highways. Great location right near the grocery store so that when we needed anything that we had to have for cooking it was conveniently placed. The host had everything a person would need and a home to be away from their own home and this will probably be the place that I stay each time that I come. My wife and I were very pleased and we're nearly close to asking him if we could book another day yet. We had to come home to be back in reality.

North Park Cottage

This place is so cute! I’d love to stay here again. The patio was relaxing and the faux fireplace is a nice touch. Loved the upstairs bedroom and bath. Feedback for improvements: 1 dresser drawer was in need of reinforcement. I was afraid my clothes were too heavy for the bottom. More plants would be nice on the patio but that’s just me.

Perfect rental is central San Diego!

Very cute and clean 1bd/1ba in North Park neighborhood in SD, unit is two stories but I loved the seperate space. I lived in this area for years so it’s near to my heart and this location won’t disappoint. Walking distance to tons of shops and restaurants. Cozy spot nestled in a safe neighborhood, all the necessary amenities including a quiet private patio space and free laundry! Parking can be tough but that’s most of SD! Mike was quick to respond, would recommend for single travelers or small families, also pet friendly! Would definitely stay again.

Great location and affordable

Michael’s place was great and my friend and I really enjoyed staying here. There are tons of restaurants and bars within walkable distance, and took ride shares to the zoo and pacific beach which were very quick. It was a quiet and safe neighborhood which is always a concern with 2 women traveling. I missed that their were stairs to the bedroom and bathroom but it didn’t affect us. We didn’t bring a car so not sure what the parking situation was. Michael was very responsive and welcoming.

Small place, great location.

Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. I stay in North Park regularly because the neighborhood is easily walkable to tons of great restaurants and breweries/nightlife with easy access to the freeway. One thing about North Park vacation rentals is that most are pretty small. This was the smallest I’ve stay in yet. It was barely big enough for me. I’m 6’ 2ā€ and I felt like I needed to be shoehorned to fit in the bathroom. The kitchen was similarly tiny. Aside from that, the location is awesome (although parking in NP is a nightmare)! The bed was extremely comfortable, ceiling fans were quiet and it had everything you needed for a short stay (3 nights for me).

Ok experience

Good and safe location, nice little apartment to stay in for a week. One incident occurred while staying that is the reason for a 3/5. Our first day there, the owner of the place forgot or didn't know we were staying there and while I was taking a nap the owner tried to break into the place because he thought the door was locked from the maids. He did try to make it up to us with a bottle of wine, but the stay was a little tainted from the thought of someone trying to break in with a crowbar while we were just trying to relax. Also the beds were very stiff, along with the pillows and i woke up with neck pains each day. Overall, probably wasn't worth the price and there are better places out there.

Just an okay experience

I was a little disappointed by this unit. The cleanliness upon arrival was not up to par (kitchen had not been wiped down well, finger prints on the cabinets, microwave filled with cooked cheese and crumbs, bathroom had a fair bit of hair on the floor, etc.) but Michael quickly offered to have the cleaning lady come back and agreed to refund me the cleaning fee. I had already cleaned up what I could and the refund was appreciated. The listing indicated a washer/dryer, and I had to clarify with Michael where it was located (not inside the unit, but out back). I am used to unit owners leaving renters with brief instructions on such things like that. The unit could use some updating (patch up some walls/paint)- but it got the job done. Great location in North Park- close to lots of restaurants and shops, quiet overall (a few mornings there was someone doing drilling and carpentry out the back door). Great shower head, comfortable bed. AC worked very well. Check-in was easy with key access code. I did not have a car, but I could see how parking could be a little tricky at certain hours. Michael was not super responsive to emails- I had to resend a couple times for a response, but he was always courteous. Not a bad experience, but I probably wouldn't choose this unit again.

Cute and comfortable

Cute place and will definitely book again when we are in town again. Perfect for my husband and I. The place was very clean, had a comfortable bed, and had everything we needed. For being in a busy town, it was pretty quiet inside. Beware of parking, that is how Northpark, San Diego is, but the area is in a great location for a quick Uber trip or a short walk
