I have booked 3 places in North Park and this was our favorite so far. You can't beat the location; it is a very short walk to lots of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, Target, etc. It was really nice to be close to all the action, but go home to a quiet place to stay. There was muffled noise from the upstairs units at times, but I expected that being in a downstairs unit. A/C was nice to have, but we didn't use it much since we had the ceiling fans. We checked in on a Thursday and there was a little market/outdoor set-up of food stands (though we didn't get to try any). Check-in was easy, though it did take a minute to figure out how to lock the door from outside. Even though there is just one bathroom, it is good sized. The one thing I missed a little was a mirror outside the bathroom, so we could get ready simultaneously. And the water pressure in the shower was a bit light, but I understand there is a drought. We didn't have a car, so I can't comment on parking.
