North Park Spanish revival house, walk to shops. restaurants

Centrally located in North Park, this quaint 2-bedroom Spanish Revival house, newly remodeled, with a kitchen that opens to the dining room, central heating and air conditioning, a large backyard with patio dining and a barbecue. It is located on a quiet residential street but still a 2-minute, half-block walk, to the well-sized convenience Parkside Food supermarket, the Thorn Street Brewery, nightly gourmet Food Trucks, Grand Ole BBQ y Asado, Santos Coffee House and a hairdresser. A quick four blocks walk to Number 2 bus line going south along 30th Street to downtown, or South Park, or north to the North Park restaurants. You can also walk 8 minutes to 30th Street and Upas for a large selection of restaurants and entertainment. The San Diego Zoo is 1.7 miles away in beautiful Balboa Park, site of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, Balboa Park now home to the Natural History Museum, San Diego Museum of Art and many other historical attractions. A family member is available for Japanese speakers.

Parking is easy at the house with “off street” parking in the front driveway for two vehicles, and street parking is always available.

Our Holiday In San Diego
This was our second stay at this North Park house. The property is very well kept and offers more than comfort, i.e. the beautiful garden and general decor inside the house which surpasses most holiday lets. The owners were more than hospitable. Special thanks to them both for their kindness. Special memories of this place will last.

Beautiful Home, Amazing Neighborhood
This home is even better than the listing. My husband, two kids, and I stayed for almost a week and had all of the amenities of home, including step stools for the kids, laundry supplies, and more. We loved being able to walk to some great restaurants, a coffee shop, and a grocery store, and the easy proximity to Balboa Park and anywhere else we wanted to go was a definite perk. The neighborhood felt quiet and safe and a private back patio was a beautiful oasis and a nice place to relax once the kids went to sleep. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for a great home away from home in San Diego!

We had a lovely stay. Communication with host Mick was very smooth. The house itself is thoughtfully decorated and has everything you could need (and more). We loved the neighborhood feel and proximity to restaurants, shops, and Balboa Park. We also appreciated the beautiful landscaping and backyard patio for relaxing and dining el fresco.

Old school charm
It has been years since we stayed in a walkable neighborhood. Groceries, coffee, BBQ and restaurants all in walking distance. Location is very centrally located if you are looking to explore the city. The home itself has a craftsman feel, is well decorated, very clean and is likely the best provisioned rental we have ever had.

Perfection!
We were so happy with our choice to stay at Mick and Lynn’s home. It is in the perfect location in a quiet neighborhood, walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping in North Park, and just a short drive to most of San Diego’s attractions. Street parking is abundant. The home is impeccably decorated and the thoughtful provisions and amenities made us truly feel at home away from home. We enjoyed meals on the peaceful and spacious back patio. We would definitely love to stay here again. Thank you Mick and Lynn!

Best Short-term Rental We Have Experienced
My spouse and I recently spent a delightful month at Mick and Lynn’s place in North Park, San Diego. It is a located is on a pleasant, walkable, residential street and its mature desert landscaping might make it the prettiest house on the block. I don't think the listing photos do justice to the place itself. The location is ideal: very close to Balboa Park, which we visited several times. Easy onto the freeway gave us access to downtown, the coast, La Jolla, the mountains – just about anywhere. And if you don’t want to drive, there are plenty of shops, grocery, pharmacy, restaurants and bars within walking distance. Everything was immaculate and well-kept. The backyard is a peaceful oasis with multiple seating areas where beautiful plantings and small fountain attract birds. It was just unfortunate that the chill kept us inside at night instead of outside under the garden lights. There is reliable and strong wifi with many outlets equipped with direct USB ports. The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need to cook meals, which we did often. The hosts are most thoughtful and available to answer any questions. My husband and I have done quite a bit of traveling, and without a doubt, this house is the most professionally run short-term rental we have stayed in.

We loved the North Park area, walking distance to restaurants, shops, even Balboa Park. The immaculate house was beautifully decorated and outfitted with everything we needed for our week stay—especially appreciated the comfortable bed and outdoor spaces. The hosts were a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend!

Beautiful; exceeded my expectations.
Delightful, cozy in every way. The only problem I had was with the check in. I arrived at night and could not see the house number from my car. I wound up having to walk from house to house (there was a cold rain at the time) and found it after 15 minutes of searching. If I had arrived during the daytime, this would have been a perfect stay. Hosts excellent.

This couldn't have been any better!
Lynn's and Mick's house is a gem - tastefully furnished and very practical at the same time, from the living room with open fireplace and dining area to the full-fledged kitchen. Beds were very comfortable, and bedrooms were very quiet. Literally everything you could think of was there. They even provided coffee and chocolates, as well as a selection of IPAs in the fridge. I wish my own household was that complete and well-organized! Their garden invites to relax and read (or barbecue), and there is a wide variety of good restaurants/bars/cafés in walking distance - more than you can try out in a week. Communication with Lynn and Mick was quasi-instantaneous, and they were very helpful in every way. I immediately felt at home in their house, and I would definitely try to stay there again for my next visit to San Diego.

This property was amazing. The location is ideal, within 15 min of most major attractions. It was very clean and comfortable. The owners were helpful with recommendations and very responsive. Great restaurants in the neighborhood. My favorite part was the patio and back yard which was breathtaking. I loved sitting outside in the morning watching the hummingbirds. We did everything from the zoo to a beach day (which was only possible because the owners provided beach equipment!) and enjoyed returning to this property each night. Would 100% stay again if we visit SD in the future.
