My wife and I planned on staying in Norm's home with our two young kids for 5 nights, but it turned out to be such a warm, convenient, comfortable setting that we had to stay one more night. With little kids, it was important for us to have a kitchen to avoid restaurants, a yard to keep them busy while we relaxed with cold beers, and two bedrooms so we could play cards or watch movies at night. Norms place had it all. And the layout and decor were really neat - a homemade style that his wife has mastered.
We had never stayed in the North Park area, but it was great too. Nothing - including the beach in Coronado - was more than 15 minutes away. There was a Sprouts down the street, a nice diner and a few other kid friendly restaurants within walking distance, and parking was easy. In all, Norms place was a solid value and I highly recommend it. Plus, Norm and his wife are really good people who truly care about their guests having a positive experience. That always helps make for a better stay.
