Perfect, if you can believe it. If you can’t believe it, come see it.
Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by Kathi and shown to our accommodations. We walked thru Pan’s garden, a place filled with magic and peace, down to our own private living space. We had everything we needed, from the extra towels and spare toothbrush, and more than we could even think to want.
It was soothing starting every morning with a hot cup of joe in our personal covered nook by the garden, and sitting in peace under the solar lanterns for our evening puff.
We had the pleasure seeing Kathi’s smiling face almost every morning or some time during our coming and going of the day, but also received all the privacy we desired. She was even gracious enough to invite her guests to join in on the Qigong (pr. “chee-gong”) lessons she hosts in the courtyard area once weekly. I highly recommend the experience, especially since it’s right outside of your front door!
A little over 10 minutes drive from the airport, and between 12 to 20 minutes from the beautiful beaches, the location could not be more ideal. The museums and free gardens of Balboa Park are also only a 5 minute drive- 20 minute walk away. If you’ll be driving, there is plenty of free parking nearby, if not right out front of the house.
I’m so appreciative of Kathi for creating such a special space and inviting others to experience it. The only thing I would have changed was that I could’ve stayed longer. Much peace to all who visit this place, and many many thanks to our hosts.
Ps. Highly recommend: Mutual Friends Ice Cream (right around the corner), Museum of Us (Balbo Park), and Massachusetts Mike’s Pizzaria (Hillcrest).
