This is a lovely little space, and Rodney and Ted are terrific hosts! The guest house is tucked away behind the main house in a locked, gated courtyard. I found it cozy and very comfortable. The bed was perfect! There are five steps up to the bathroom, which might be tricky for some, but I loved the layout. And the amenities make it very easy for someone like me, who likes to prepare simple, healthy meals on vacation.

The neighborhood is charming and convenient. Street parking was very easy. In the mornings I would walk to to a wonderful bakery (Cardamom Bakery; try the award-winning cinnamon rolls!) and Balboa Park. If you're on foot, you can continue west on Upas St all the way to Hillcrest, taking you through beautiful neighborhoods and the park.

As for my hosts, Rodney and Ted went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. My last night, they invited me to sit in a lovely covered patio and share wine and good conversation with them, which I enjoyed thoroughly!

On my last morning, I had a mishap where I accidentally broke a piece of their shower head. I felt so terrible, and tried to fix it to no avail. If I did not have to leave, I would have stayed and bought a replacement part, but I couldn't. When I confessed my mishap to Rodney, he was so gracious about it! I am grateful to him for that, and to him and Ted for all their hospitality. As hosts, they went far and above the call of duty. I definitely plan to return for future stays.
