South Park is a great neighborhood to stay in. My wife, daughter, and I stayed in Luci's adorable "Granny pad" and felt right at home. Safe, walkable, great food and convenient shopping would describe the area. Our host, Luci, was so gracious and friendly and had many suggestions on where to go within just a few blocks of her place! Access to Balboa Park and the freeways was easy too. And the interior of the apartment felt like a cozy home like my grandparents had back in Boston. The charm and comfort were there along with anything you'd need to cook a nice meal. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back here. Aaron, the property manager, made check-in and check-out a breeze too.
