The listing was exactly as described - a charming, private, cozy apartment with all the necessary amenities required for our four-day stay in San Diego.

The neighbourhood was especially perfect as there was an array of restaurants and bars within walking distance. The North Park neighbourhood also boasts great examples of arts and craft architecture of which San Diego is known for.

Of course, the highlight of our trip was our visit to the San Diego Zoo which was only a 30-minute walk from the apartment through beautiful Balboa Park which is also home to golf courses, hiking trails, and museums.
