Cannot recommend Vicki’s home enough! It's ideal for anyone looking to experience San Diego and Azaela Park, an awesome local neighborhood minutes from the city. I was in town for a work meeting and rented a car, but decided to stay in Vicki’s Airbnb instead of a hotel in order to explore a new part of SD. Plus, street parking was a piece of cake right outside her house, versus paying to park overnight in the city. The space itself is lovely - homey touches and fun decorations, comfy mattress, direct private access to the backyard, and it is stocked with necessities for an easy, seamless stay. I spent the majority of my time outside in the lush backyard (can’t beat the private garden and pool), sipping wine, and touring the Azaela Park community artwork projects. Highly recommend to check out the outdoor mosaics around the neighborhood - I especially loved the evil eye detail on the one by the Azaela Community Park on Pepper Drive. I also had the opportunity to see Vicki’s lovely gallery, the Poplar House Gallery, which is only a few minutes from the house and a can’t-miss spot in SD. Beautiful space filled with eye-catching, light-filled work. I even got to see her sandblaster and was shocked at the size of the instrument given the intricacy of her sculpture and jewelry – very cool!
I will absolutely be back to stay at Vicki’s!
