We had the absolute best time staying at Christine's. She was so warm and welcoming to us and our dog. We stayed mostly within the neighborhood and it was a great way to experience a part of San Diego we would have missed if we stayed in a hotel. This trip has definitely made us seriously consider moving to the South Park area in the future. The room is private and cozy. It doesn't get very dark in the mornings, but there are eye masks provided in the night stand. We had the unfortunate experience of a citywide power outtage during a heat wave, but the room was able to cool down very quickly once the power came back on. This a great way to experience the real people of San Diego.
