While not a truly private space (you will hear some noise from the upstairs, but it’s kept to steps and the rare sounds of voices during the early night/day) you do get a lot of privacy and can take in lovely views of the small valley, the most vibrant and lovely bird sounds and an always warm and ready hot tub. There was no a/c, but the nighttime weather and breeze kept it from getting way too hot. And most importantly you’re 15-20min tops from any place in San Diego.
