Our private space was peaceful and welcoming. The kitchen was well stocked (even flour, sugar and flavorings) and the bathroom included beach towels and sunscreen. We enjoyed the 2 private outdoor seating areas and off-street parking. Walking the neighborhood was a highlight for us (enjoying surrounding gardens and architecture, exploring local coffee shops and food trucks ; also some great-looking restaurants that we didn't make it to). Close proximity to Balboa Park, downtown and beaches was great. Heather was always responsive to our inquiries and always respectful of our privacy. We would come back here in a heartbeat on a future stay - a fantastic experience!
