Wonderful stay in North Park for my husband, 11 y/o daughter and I while we vacationed and visited family!! We stayed at Shawn's place for a week and could not have been more pleased with our experience. Shawn was so nice! Easy-going and attentive, he replied almost instantly to my questions and requests for help. He fixed the Internet access on the TV right away when it wasn't working - didn't miss cable at all. Wifi was a plus, since I had to work a bit while there. My brother joined us for a few days and slept on a mattress on the floor of the living area. If we'd stayed at a hotel, he would've had to get his own room, so this was perfect! Rooms are comfy and nicely decorated. Kitchen is well-stocked, though we just had breakfast each morning. Coffee/hot water maker was a definite plus! Also loved having shampoo/conditioner, soap, hairdryer, towels, dish soap, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, hangers...and probably some other things I'm forgetting. It was so nice to be able to fly there and not worry about either packing these things or buying them there! Also great to have washer/dryer since hubby miscounted the number of days we'd be there! Linens were lovely, everything seemed fresh and updated. Just blocks from Balboa park, easy drive to beaches, Safari park, Sea World, Old Town, Cabrillo National Park, etc. We were able to walk to a grocery store and many good restaurants. Walking distance to craft breweries, which we didn't get to enjoy this trip. Had a nice big parking spot for our rental minivan. Felt safe walking at all times of the day. Beautiful area and lovely people wherever we went in this wonderful city. Will definitely be back!!
