This place is a gem. It's 6 minutes away from San Diego downtown, but has that tranquility you need if you just want to spend some quality time with your friends. The rooms are clean, modern and spacious. And the garden is absolutely gorgeous - there is a bridge and a waterfall + fish pond that lights up at night. Most importantly, the host is super friendly. I really enjoyed my stay at Zapher's place. And if I ever go to San Diego again for a night or two, this is the place where I will stay.
