My husband and I spent a wonderful month in Shirley's lovely, cozy apartment. The accommodations were comfortable, inviting, spacious, and extremely clean. As a host, Shirley gets an A+. She is generous and was willing to help in any way we needed, from helping us find a seamstress to helping us navigate the county library, to making our cat welcome and comfortable. Shirley even made soup for me when I was sick! I heartily recommend Shirley's canyon hideaway to anyone interested in a peaceful, comfortable San Diego stay in a lovely setting. My husband and I are hoping to come back next year!
