Norman’s house is great for families with kids. There were toys inside and out that our kids enjoyed playing with (and some chickens that visited occasionally outside!). The inside is cozy but the space worked well for two parents and two kids (2&5). It’s near a lot of good restaurants but the park around the corner wasn’t inviting. The included pack and play made sleeping much easier for our 2 year old. Norman was very hospitable and answered questions quickly. Great location for visiting balboa park (zoo and museums) and well located for other SD attractions.
