If you’re looking for a centralized spot, especially in North Park, give Renata’s place some consideration.
You’ll be walking distance to a lot of things to do, particularly eat and drink, by being so close to University Ave and 30th St.
You’ll still be only a longer walk to short drive away from many other things, including Balboa Park, Cowles Mountain, downtown SD, and the beaches, so it’ll be especially helpful for the first time visitor.
You’ll have your own bedroom and bathroom and if you don’t mind cats, they’re friendly. As is expected in North Park, if you want free street parking, you’ll likely be circling a bit to find something. Give some consideration to just paying for the one close by that Renata offers.
