Angela was incredibly welcoming and generous, providing all kinds of ideas for places to visit and even giving me a ride to the grocery store the eve I arrived! Mattress was impressively comfortable--exactly soft enough while still supportive.The patio was a beautiful, peaceful, private place to prepare and enjoy breakfast each morning and to unwind by the fire each night. Angela even provides a treasure chest of blankets to stay cozy! Patio time was my favorite part of my stay 😊

Location: The property is situated in a good spot, making it easy to explore San Diego. Parking: Having a dedicated parking spot was a definite plus. However it is on the smaller side Comfort: The existing accommodations were comfortable for a smaller group. Overall, this spot offers a pleasant place to spend a day in San Diego, but there are some drawbacks that potential guests should be aware of.

    Perfect location, beach, restaurants etc. are in easy walking distance. Nothing fancy, but just a cozy and a comfortable home away from home. Ideal for a stay of several days. Excellent Wifi. Good quality towels. Large rooms/suites. Charming people. Actually my third stay at this place, and still loving it.
