While the guest house is small, it was designed and built to maximize the utility and attractiveness of the room. As Yola notes in her description, it is designed for two persons. Having said that, we never felt crowded. The shower room has a skylight that provides plenty of daylight. The kitchen area is small, but sufficient with open shelving for plates, glasses, and appliances. The bed was extremely comfortable. The HVAC split system was efficient and quiet. We were only about a 10 minute walk to Balboa Park, and we ate at several good restaurants within walkable distance. And the guest house was very quiet, even though there are homes in proximity.
