North Park Cottage
This place is so cute! I’d love to stay here again. The patio was relaxing and the faux fireplace is a nice touch. Loved the upstairs bedroom and bath. Feedback for improvements: 1 dresser drawer was in need of reinforcement. I was afraid my clothes were too heavy for the bottom. More plants would be nice on the patio but that’s just me.

Relaxing nook
Small place, with everything we needed close to coffee, groceries and many restaurants. Surprisingly quiet for its location, we slept well and enjoyed our visit.

Small place, great location.
Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. I stay in North Park regularly because the neighborhood is easily walkable to tons of great restaurants and breweries/nightlife with easy access to the freeway. One thing about North Park vacation rentals is that most are pretty small. This was the smallest I’ve stay in yet. It was barely big enough for me. I’m 6’ 2” and I felt like I needed to be shoehorned to fit in the bathroom. The kitchen was similarly tiny. Aside from that, the location is awesome (although parking in NP is a nightmare)! The bed was extremely comfortable, ceiling fans were quiet and it had everything you needed for a short stay (3 nights for me).

Furniture is very cheap. The bed is propped up on cylinders. Bathroom likewise very cheap, tiny pedestal sink, small shower. epoxy poured over hardwood floors are very slippery. No easily accessible power outlets in bedroom for charging.

Great location, street parking an issue
The unit was fine for two days. Could use some loving care (stairs need work). Patio really not useful. Make sure you let people know bedroom and bathroom are upstairs. Communication was great! Thank you. Well worth the $.

Just an okay experience
I was a little disappointed by this unit. The cleanliness upon arrival was not up to par (kitchen had not been wiped down well, finger prints on the cabinets, microwave filled with cooked cheese and crumbs, bathroom had a fair bit of hair on the floor, etc.) but Michael quickly offered to have the cleaning lady come back and agreed to refund me the cleaning fee. I had already cleaned up what I could and the refund was appreciated. The listing indicated a washer/dryer, and I had to clarify with Michael where it was located (not inside the unit, but out back). I am used to unit owners leaving renters with brief instructions on such things like that. The unit could use some updating (patch up some walls/paint)- but it got the job done. Great location in North Park- close to lots of restaurants and shops, quiet overall (a few mornings there was someone doing drilling and carpentry out the back door). Great shower head, comfortable bed. AC worked very well. Check-in was easy with key access code. I did not have a car, but I could see how parking could be a little tricky at certain hours. Michael was not super responsive to emails- I had to resend a couple times for a response, but he was always courteous. Not a bad experience, but I probably wouldn't choose this unit again.
