We had a wonderful stay! Maria is extremely accommodating, friendly and responsive.
The location is perfect, about 15 minutes drive to all the major locations for food, Balboa Park and San Diego zoo, which was really convenient.
The kitchen is small, with a portable induction cooktop, so don’t plan to cook any major meals, as there isn’t an oven or proper cooktop. There is a a grill in the backyard though!
Just be aware that the guest house is beneath the main house so you can hear footsteps walking across the ceiling when the main houses’ family is moving about.
This didn’t bother us too much, and our 4 year old is a good sleeper but just be mindful if you’re needing absolute silence.
The backyard is basically an oasis. It was so beautiful, serene and well kept. Maria turned on the jacuzzi for us when we asked, and while it was a little chilly, we still managed to enjoy the main pool a little bit before hopping into the jacuzzi. Mainly it was so lovely to sit and enjoy the backyard, walk around and enjoy the beautiful flowers.
We would love to come back next time, my daughter is already asking when we could go back! Thanks again Maria for your hospitality and your mum also!
