This is the essence of San Diego lifestyle. It's on Banker's Hill and within walking distance of Balboa Park, as well as a neighborhood full of restaurants, businesses, and Victorian architecture. We were thrilled to encounter the people of the city using their park--Balboa--for yoga lessons, co-ed soccer, flamenco dance lessons, and a morning exercise class for moms with their babies! We enjoyed breakfast at Hob Nob Hill, right around the corner. The Studio Cottage is amazingly spacious and contains all essentials and even some extras like a playpen and beach equipment. I was particularly amazed by the small bathroom sink, which nevertheless contained two drawers for our toiletries.
