This house far exceeded our expectations, which had been raised considerably by the many rave reviews. It's certainly among the most thoughtfully appointed and carefully maintained rentals we've ever stayed at. Every need has been anticipated and carefully attended to. The house feels modern yet homey, comfortable, absolutely spotless, and very private. And the location simply could not be better: In 15 minutes or less, you can walk to the Zoo and Prado (heart of Balboa Park) in one direction, and to dozens of tempting restaurants in Hillcrest and North Park in the other direction. For shorter walks, the immediate neighborhood is a delight to stroll and explore, with many rugged trails that weave through the edges of Balboa Park. We are very sensitive sleepers and found this location surprisingly silent in spite of its close access to the bustle of Hillcrest and nearby freeways (there is some sporadic plane-takeoff noise, as anywhere in central San Diego)...and the bed is very comfortable. All around, we'd definitely return to this lovely house and recommend it to anyone we know going to San Diego for a stay short or long.
