Location, location, location! That certainly applies to Ricardo's place on Vermont Street in Hillcrest. It is a short walk, 4 blocks, to University Avenue, where you will find a supermarket, Trader Joe's, a post office, and numerous restaurants and coffee houses. One block away, just off Cypress Avenue with its lovely homes and charming little Free Library where residents can exchange books, is a path through one end of Balboa Park.
Ricardo's place is a small house, with a comfortable, spacious living room, one bedroom, one bath, a modest kitchen, and a pleasant and sunny front patio, comfortably furnished. A fenced-in private back parking area also houses a large washer and dryer, conveniently saving interior space.
Hillcrest, which boasts the best Farmer's Market in San Diego every Sunday, is convenient to many of San Diego's other delightful neighborhoods (Mission Hills, University Heights, North Park) and the many attractions that San Diego has to offer. It is highly recommended as a place to stay.
