This spot is perfect for people who want to be in North Park and have access to downtown. The #2 bus is just down Redwood on 30th Street and can get you to Broadway in about 20 minutes. Heading up 30th, you have access to excellent restaurants, cafes and bars as well. The house is very near Balboa Park, so there is access to trails, frisbee golf, etc.

Be advised that there is no air conditioning, but there is a fan that adequately keeps the air moving. We stayed here over 4th of July weekend and were not overly warm. The bed faces north into the garden which allows you to wake up with the sun on your face if you leave the drapes open. The garden/backyard is very serene and private. It is shared by the host; however, we did not see the host in the yard once.

The host, Mireille, is incredibly welcoming and very personable. She made herself available if we needed anything, but the house came with everything we needed.

We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to friends in the future.
