It is located on a quiet residential street but still a 2-minute, half-block walk, to the well-sized convenience Parkside Food supermarket, the Thorn Street Brewery, nightly gourmet Food Trucks, Grand Ole BBQ y Asado, Santos Coffee House and a hairdresser. A quick four blocks walk to Number 2 bus line going south along 30th Street to downtown, or South Park, or north to the North Park restaurants. You can also walk 8 minutes to 30th Street and Upas for a large selection of restaurants and entertainment. The San Diego Zoo is 1.7 miles away in beautiful Balboa Park, site of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, Balboa Park now home to the Natural History Museum, San Diego Museum of Art and many other historical attractions. A family member is available for Japanese speakers.

If I could give it 6 stars, I would

I have stayed in several VRBOs around the world, and this is the best I have ever stayed in. Excellent quiet location in North Park, exceptionally well equipped with everything you would want for a short or a long stay, including a really nice and nicely equipped back yard. Communications with Mick and Lynn were very speedy. Next time I am in San Diego I will definitely want to stay here!

Perfect place in North Park

We loved our stay at Altadena! The property is better than the pictures, including the amazing outdoor spaces. Mick and Lynn were also very helpful and gracious hosts as well as great communicators. We also loved the surrounding neighborhood and its proximity to all of San Diego’s attractions.

Great Place

We were here for 5 days with our sons 5 and 1. It was the perfect little place in a great location. There are little eateries, coffee shops, and a grocery store nearby. A few things were within walking distance. Everything you need is already supplied minus food of course. My only con would be that if you have an SUV, you cannot get in the driveway. That being said, there is parking on the street, and it will not keep me from staying here again! Thank you Mick & Lynn for your hospitality! We had a wonderful stay!

This property was amazing. The location is ideal, within 15 min of most major attractions. It was very clean and comfortable. The owners were helpful with recommendations and very responsive. Great restaurants in the neighborhood. My favorite part was the patio and back yard which was breathtaking. I loved sitting outside in the morning watching the hummingbirds. We did everything from the zoo to a beach day (which was only possible because the owners provided beach equipment!) and enjoyed returning to this property each night. Would 100% stay again if we visit SD in the future.

Met and exceeded all expectations

Just returned from 4 days in San Diego. Mick and Lynn’s property in SD was truly exceptional. Very comfortable and well equipped. I wish the weather had been a bit warmer so I could have taken advantage of the really quite large patio area/garden. Both bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and the bathroom is a good size, not at all cramped. The kitchen set up is excellent, very convenient for fixing a quick breakfast, and everything you’d need to fix and complicated meal. All communication w Mick and Lynn was very prompt and very accurate. This home is a great location in a quiet neighborhood. I am looking forward to my next stay. Absolutely recommend this property

This couldn't have been any better!

Lynn's and Mick's house is a gem - tastefully furnished and very practical at the same time, from the living room with open fireplace and dining area to the full-fledged kitchen. Beds were very comfortable, and bedrooms were very quiet. Literally everything you could think of was there. They even provided coffee and chocolates, as well as a selection of IPAs in the fridge. I wish my own household was that complete and well-organized! Their garden invites to relax and read (or barbecue), and there is a wide variety of good restaurants/bars/cafés in walking distance - more than you can try out in a week. Communication with Lynn and Mick was quasi-instantaneous, and they were very helpful in every way. I immediately felt at home in their house, and I would definitely try to stay there again for my next visit to San Diego.

Verified traveler

We were extremely pleased with the house and our hosts.

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. It was beautifully furnished and decorated with all new appliances. Everything was immaculate and the yard was professionally landscaped. We really enjoyed reading our books and eating meals in the back patio. Upon our arrival we were very pleasantly surprised to find that Mick and Lynn had left us a bottle of wine, Irish soda bread, biscottis, chocolates and milk, eggs and butter for our use. The air conditioning worked very well and was easy to control. The location was ideal with a small grocery store half a block away and many fine restaurants and craft beer places within walking distance. Mick and Lynn were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed and offered many suggestions of places to visit. They brought decaf capsules for the coffee machine and Lynn even made us some delicious scones near the end of our stay. We definitely would recommend this place to friends and family.

Best Short-term Rental We Have Experienced

My spouse and I recently spent a delightful month at Mick and Lynn’s place in North Park, San Diego. It is a located is on a pleasant, walkable, residential street and its mature desert landscaping might make it the prettiest house on the block. I don't think the listing photos do justice to the place itself. The location is ideal: very close to Balboa Park, which we visited several times. Easy onto the freeway gave us access to downtown, the coast, La Jolla, the mountains – just about anywhere. And if you don’t want to drive, there are plenty of shops, grocery, pharmacy, restaurants and bars within walking distance. Everything was immaculate and well-kept. The backyard is a peaceful oasis with multiple seating areas where beautiful plantings and small fountain attract birds. It was just unfortunate that the chill kept us inside at night instead of outside under the garden lights. There is reliable and strong wifi with many outlets equipped with direct USB ports. The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need to cook meals, which we did often. The hosts are most thoughtful and available to answer any questions. My husband and I have done quite a bit of traveling, and without a doubt, this house is the most professionally run short-term rental we have stayed in.

Great house and location

Loved this house, it was beautiful and very clean. Pretty much stocked with anything you need. They even had beach chairs to use which were very nice. Washing machines for normal clothes and one for beach stuff. The neighborhood was very quiet, never really heard anything. Great little restaurants and shops near by. Would definitely love to stay again. Thank you!

This was our second stay at this North Park house. The property is very well kept and offers more than comfort, i.e. the beautiful garden and general decor inside the house which surpasses most holiday lets. The owners were more than hospitable. Special thanks to them both for their kindness. Special memories of this place will last.

Beautiful Home, Amazing Neighborhood

This home is even better than the listing. My husband, two kids, and I stayed for almost a week and had all of the amenities of home, including step stools for the kids, laundry supplies, and more. We loved being able to walk to some great restaurants, a coffee shop, and a grocery store, and the easy proximity to Balboa Park and anywhere else we wanted to go was a definite perk. The neighborhood felt quiet and safe and a private back patio was a beautiful oasis and a nice place to relax once the kids went to sleep. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for a great home away from home in San Diego!

Schönes Haus in einer angenehmen Nachbarschaft

Das Haus ist sehr modern ausgestattet und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Es ist alles da, was man benötigt und alles ist sehr gepflegt und sauber. Im Garten gibt es mehrere Sitzplätze und auch hier ist alles sehr gepflegt. Wir haben uns in der Woche, die wir hier verbracht haben sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Nachbarschaft ist ruhig und angenehm. Die Lage in North Park ist ideal, 5 Minuten Fahrt zum großen Supermarkt, 10 Minuten zum Balboa Park und Fashion Valley. Wenn wir wieder nach San Diego reisen, werden wir das Haus sicher wieder mieten.

Old school charm

It has been years since we stayed in a walkable neighborhood. Groceries, coffee, BBQ and restaurants all in walking distance. Location is very centrally located if you are looking to explore the city. The home itself has a craftsman feel, is well decorated, very clean and is likely the best provisioned rental we have ever had.
