As a solo woman traveler, I felt extremely safe in Lily’s house and neighborhood. My bedroom door had a secure lock and a private bathroom. I’ve had other stays where I haven’t felt completely safe, but Lily gave me a key to the room and to the house front door and I just felt really comfortable here. The house is beautiful and hosts are very welcoming, with an absolutely gorgeous saltwater pool in the back yard! From Lily’s house I walked to Jimmy Carter’s restaurant for great Mexican food and also Hob Nob for a tasty breakfast. The location was super close to Balboa Park, where Lily provided excellent recommendations to see the international cottages and a free organ concert in the park that has been running for over a hundred years. I slept soundly in a very comfortable bed and wholeheartedly recommend this stay!
