South Park House | Pet-Friendly Blanca Bungalow Artist Retreat in sunny San Diego

2 Bedroom House in South Park, San Diego

Pet-friendly family-owned bungalow in the coolest location in historic South Park. One block from excellent restaurants, pubs, and shops, (even a mini-Target). A mix of old & new, the Blanca Bungalow is a cozy 600+ sqft with outdoor spaces to make the most of your San Diego stay. High-quality linens, high-speed fiber wireless internet, well-stocked kitchen, and even art supplies to spark your creativity. Centrally located, 5-min drive to downtown, Balboa Park, Golf, and Zoo. South Park is Pup paradise: HUGE local off-leash dog park & many restaurants have dog-friendly patios.
The Blanca Bungalow is a cozy, well-stocked recently updated 1920s California Craftsman centrally located in South Park, an idyllic San Diego neighborhood, combining historic homes, a relaxed vibe, and excellent dining and shopping.
**Important to note that it has fans, but does not have AC.**
The Blanca Bungalow takes full advantage of the San Diego weather with front and back outdoor living spaces for long conversations or a long afternoon snooze on the shaded back porch under the overhead fan.
It sleeps 4 comfortably, two queens with high-quality linens. The kitchen is fully-stocked with everything you could possibly need during your stay, you just add the groceries, which you can find one block up at the mini-Target. There is also a full-sized washer and dryer, a tankless water heater, and filtered water from the kitchen sink. And for fun we provide board games, puzzles, art supplies, Roku to stream your apps, and high-speed fiber wireless internet.
PETS ARE WELCOME

Summary: This house was perfect for moving my daughter in to SDSU. The location was great. Andrea was very responsive to any questions I had. Parking was street parking but I never had a problem being close to the house. Full size washer & dryer. Kitchen was very well stocked. Shower pressure was fantastic. Air purifier on site was much appreciated. Privacy in both the front and back porch areas. Would definitely stay at this home again.
