While we had a lovely time in San Diego, Isabelle’s guest house wasn’t exactly what we expected.
Isabelle herself was wonderfully kind and quick to respond while booking. Her neighborhood is in a perfect central location and her garden is very stunning and well taken care of. There was also plenty of room for two, and would be more than enough for a single person.
The space has a spring mattress, a single shower big enough for one. Be mindful that there’s only a small fridge and no hot plate for cooking, though there is a kettle for tea.
I think it should be mentioned that the space is a modest garage renovation and due to this it lacks ventilation. There are only two small windows on one side of the main space, with one air conditioning unit occupying one of these two windows. There’s also a door with a full screen, which was wonderful and definitely let some air in, but unfortunately left the space a little less than private - as this looks right into the back of Isabelle’s home. We were very lucky with weather (never hotter than 65 at night), but even so were not comfortable with the door closed and the air conditioner on, so probably not ideal for those who need a cool private space.
Other than the above mentioned details, the place had thoughtful touches and a nice vibe for those who mainly want a place to lay their heads at night, and mostly be out exploring during the day.
