My neighborhood, North Park, is one of San Diego’s most historic and funky places to be. It's home to artists, local businesses, a Farmers Market, craft beer, wine bars, sushi spots, handmade ice cream, and your pick of brunch options. Guests love the Hillcrest and North Park’s neighborhood vibe. If you want a bit more, it’s just 3 miles from downtown and The Gaslamp and the Convention Center.

It met our needs. It is a three story property and ours was the middle unit. At first inspection it appears clean but we walked in stocking feet and were surprised to see how dirty our socks were from the floors were. The bathroom had a small area rug in front of the shower and after steeping on it when exiting the shower the bottoms of our feet were dirty. We cleaned the floors with a swifter and it was filthy.. I would only stay here again if no other option was available.
