This spot in North Park is excellent. Parking can be tough on weekend afternoons, but generally a parking space can be easily found within a block's distance. You won't need to drive much, though, as the surrounding neighborhood has a main street with restaurants and businesses - Balboa Park is an easy walk, too. 30th St is close and can be busy, but I could never hear noise from 30th St, even on weekend nights. I really enjoyed staying in this neighborhood with this unit as my home base.
