We love San Diego and visit often, particularly for the San Diego Zoo, which my 7-year-old daughter loves. We've always stayed at hotels, never really finding one with a location that we loved. This time, we thought we'd try a VRBO near the zoo in the North Park neighborhood, and our entire family agrees that we have found "our place" in San Diego.
This house is perfect for our family - 2 bedrooms, 2 bathroom, kitchen, living room, and outdoor space. My daughter got "her" room, which she picked out because of the super decorative San Diego wall art. Everything is nicely designed, clean, and relatively new. The bathrooms were both great - one tub, one shower - just what a family with kids needs.
But the best part of this house is the location. Not only were we just a 2-3 minute drive to Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo, we walked to every meal that we ate... and the food was AMAZING. My husband insists The Taco Stand has the greatest tacos he's had in his life. The burgers at Dunedin (New Zealand food) were spectacular. The brunch at Atypical Waffle was quirky and yummy. There were countless other options within just a couple blocks that we didn't get to try but are on our list for next time.
All in all, great place!
