We were fortunate to have stayed at this wonderful home for our Christmas visit with family. The location is spectacular - so many great places within walking distance, including grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and a weekly farmer's market. It's a very short drive to Balboa Park, downtown, the airport, and beach.
The house is amazing. The furnishings are quite lovely. So much care has been taken to stay in the craftsman/arts and craft theme and at the same time be quite comfortable. The home is full of beautiful artwork, including some from the owner, Mike. Be sure to take him up on the offer to see his amazing art studio at the rear of the property.
We loved the O'Keefe & Merritt stove. It is in perfect working condition and was fun to use. The kitchen and coffee area had everything we needed. Mike provided everything you need to enjoy a quiet morning sipping coffee or tea and enough pots, pans, etc. to cook a meal at home.
The garden is incredible and has been featured in magazines. We enjoyed afternoons on the secluded front porch looking at the lovely plantings, including an aloe as large as a tree that came into bloom while we were there and attracted hummingbirds and finches.
This home is truly magical.
