Nice hidden house on a hopping street, close to everything North Park and convenient to all of San Diego. Because it is set back from that street, it's pleasantly quiet and secure with keyless entry. It is adjacent to a weekend morning waffle hotspot, so expect nice music and a friendly hubbub over the fence of the patio, and if you're lucky, the scent of bacon smoking. The patio area does contain some storage for the restaurant, but is pleasant with a huge picnic table (restaurant back-up) and great grill.
The house, itself, if open concept with a modern kitchen, good wi-fi and a large flat-screen. There is plenty of hot water and the beds are comfortable. We enjoyed staying at Joe's place, very much, and will try to book again. Also, can't beat the waffles!
