Quaint lay-out that’s walkable to surrounding neighborhoods around Hillcrest. Grocery stores and restaurants nearby while not being on a main avenue. Balboa park within walking distance.

Really great condo. Nice in all respects....super well appointed, spotless and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need, and then some. The communications were stellar and the private parking was fantastic to have. Would have been a shame had I gone to an excellent hotel instead.

The apartment is very.clean & comfortable. The unit was updated very nicely. You couldn't ask for a better location. The building itself is very attractive with a very nice court yard. Very quiet.
