The studio apartment is beautifully designed and well thought out in terms of visual appeal and comfort. The garden setting is secluded and serene. We loved the fact that it was a quiet neighborhood and setting--as described. There were cold beverages in the refrigerator to welcome us. We loved walking through the neighborhood. The houses in this area are primarily Craftsman bungalows with well-tended yards, and each block has a new discovery. We could walk 4-5 blocks to a bustling scene of happening restaurants, brewpubs and bars. For three days in a row we did a quick five minute drive to Balboa Park, and explored different aspects of its museums, gardens and places to eat. We felt we had the perfect Northpark weekend getaway!
