We loved Christine's place! The garden is beautiful and the space is cozy but not cramped. We were able to walk to Balboa Park, Hillcrest, and North Park, and being close to a major intersection made ride shares easy. It felt very "California" to this midwesterner! Our host met us on check-in and was available for any questions we had about the neighborhood. If we are ever visiting SD again I would definitely repeat my stay!
