Nicole's place is perfectly located within a block of all the action in South Park. As well, it is within walking distance of the east side of Balboa Park and Grape Street Dog Park. Nicole was very accommodating and friendly. We were visiting with our dog, so thumbs up that she welcomes dogs. Her own big puppy is a sweet and very playful dog. We were there only one evening, so too bad we didn't have more time to enjoy the place and the neighborhood. We would highly recommend this place if you're looking to explore South Park/Balboa Park, and especially if you're looking for a dog-friendly place!
