My boyfriend and I stayed at John & Tulsi's place for 3 nights. John was an AWESOME host, and the apartment was so great. It's spacious, bright, very clean, very comfortable, and the kitchen has everything you need - I loved the gas stove! I want one at home. The decor is very artistic and, just as it describes, charmingly modern without being pretentious. Shower pressure was great, the view at the table to the orange tree in the yard is beautiful, the bed was super comfortable, the sheets and towels were very clean and soft, I could go on and on. I wish I could take the whole suite home with me!
We were able to borrow the bikes and had a wonderful time biking to Gaslamp and out and about Balboa Park. Parking on the block wasn't a problem. BONUS: John has made up a beautiful guide with lots of exquisite pictures and great suggestions/directions/insider (local) tips for great things to do, places to eat, and fun-packed days for any type of traveller. Would definitely recommend this place.
