Location, location, location. We were close to everything - the Zoo, SeaWorld, Mission Beach, La Jolla, all of it. We could walk to great restaurants and cute shops in North Park. We loved the North Park Creamery, Atypical Waffles, and the Taco Stand. Joe was a great host, and we felt right at home. The beds and pillows were comfy, and we were thankful for the beach towels that were provided! The kitchen had everything we needed to make some quick meals.
