Andrea’s “Beautiful Gem North Park” is comfortable, modern, and conveniently located in walking distance to some great restaurants. The parking adds to the convenience. It’s only a 10-15 min drive to all the great stuff in and around Balboa Park. You just have to brave a sidewalk riddled with overreaching cacti on your way to and from the apartment. Seriously, these things have sharp points and are encroaching on the walkway. They can get in the way when rolling luggage and are a hazard to children and even adults! Inside the apartment you have nearly everything you need for a great stay. The washer/dryer stack is absolutely fantastic. The bed is huge and soft but I didn’t care for the sheets; felt thin and synthetic. Kitchen staples are ready for use. Internet speeds are upwards of 500Mbps. The AC in the living room is great. In the bedroom you just have the fan. To cool you need to run it and keep the door open. Not ideal when you still need to use the living room. Overall the apartment was clean upon arrival, although the shades behind the bed were very dusty and looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in some time. I recommend this listing to anyone with a car and a preference for staying in North Park. Just mind the cacti on the way in!
