Even with the beach 10 blocks away, I could've stayed on their patio all day long. It felt like being in your own private botanical garden! The avocado tree shades the whole area and with the San Diego breeze on a hot summer day, it is truly just perfect.
The size of the guesthouse (brilliantly converted from being a garage) was more than enough for my solo stay. Netflix was all set up on the TV and I ate out for all my meals so the mini fridge, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, and basic dining ware was just right for my needs to not need the kitchen in the main house. There was an A/C unit available but I only used it once for 2 hours as the fan they had was more than enough. My only critique is the weak WiFi signal. On my phone, 30% of the time, I had to use my 5G and on Zoom calls on my laptop, I was freezing about 70% of the time when on video and 40% of the time when just using audio both on the patio and in the guesthouse.
I got a bike and surfboard for the week I was here and had such easy access to the beach and bike path.
Marvin and Adrienne were just the sweetest hosts. So so hospitable and accommodating. They a well-oiled machine for guests to stay here. The place was immaculate when I checked in and the cleaner was there already when I checked out.
I would stay here again and would recommend this place to any friends visiting SD!
