The Casita is perfect. It's located on a quiet street just blocks away from the more lively area of North Park. While renting a car is ideal to get around San Diego, there is a bike rental in walking distance which is enough to explore North Park itself. Favorite coffee shop was Communal Coffee, in walking distance and recommended by Seth and Dorit.
Great space for two with ideal hosts. Prompt and communicative about logistics but hands off during our stay - gave us space to feel like we had our own little spot in SD! They were also thoughtful enough to offer us a bike lock to use on our rentals.
If you're looking for a beautiful private place that's hosted by thoughtful locals this is the spot. Access to the beautiful backyard space is a nice bonus. Would 100% recommend and happily stay again!
