Marilee's studio is EXACTLY as shown in pictures. It is very clean, comfortable (loved the bed), and has every amenity you could think of for a great stay. We cooked there for many of our meals and the kitchen is very well equipped. As for location, it is in a more residential area of North Park, but a very quick drive or a nice walk to the restaurants and night life. What I loved most about the location was it's proximity to Balboa Park and the zoo, and that it is a 15-20 minute drive from everywhere in the city. Plus the off-street parking is definitely a plus. We loved our stay and will absolutely be back!
