Catherine was a thoughtful, gracious, and welcoming host. Her bungalow was spotless and full of a long list of extra amenities that made the stay above and beyond. She had extensive knowledge of San Diego, offering options and help if we wanted, yet managed to never seem intrusive during our entire stay. She would also make meaningful gestures like leave chocolates on pillows, light candles for when we returned from dinner, leave a newspaper by the door, towels by the jacuzzi, and more. Catherine successfully created an experience that rivals most hotels, and we'd recommend this stay to anyone looking for something similar.

Also, the neighborhood was very charming and central to everything—definitely an added bonus, as we probably wouldn't have seen Mission Hills if we we stayed in a hotel downtown.
