Neighborhood

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 North Park’s neighborhood vibe, even though it’s just 3 miles from downtown and The Gaslamp. Century-old architecture and the ringing of church bells during the day in North Park add to its historic feel. And my house fits right in!

Guest Access

You will have this entire apartment and its balcony to yourself. The backyard is shared with the other two units in the building.

One of the best and most responsive hosts, what a please to stay at this location. The place was very clean and had a newly done bathroom which was as clean as it can get. The location was nice but parking might be tough which was brought to our attention by the host. Looking to book again, thank you for the quick replies and being an amazing host!

My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Doreen’s property in San Diego, and I can confidently say she is an exceptional host. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, and she was genuinely caring. During our stay, we experienced an unexpected medical situation, and Doreen went above and beyond to support us. Her compassion, flexibility, and willingness to work with us during a difficult time meant more than we can express. It’s rare to find a host who not only provides a beautiful place to stay but also shows such sincere concern for their guests. If you’re considering staying at one of her properties, don’t hesitate. You’ll not only enjoy a high-quality stay but also be taken care of by someone who truly values her guests.
