Mireille was available to meet us at the time we agreed upon and was accommodating throughout our stay. The room felt private and the neighborhood felt safe. There is a nice view of the back garden area from the bed when the blinds are open while still allowing for full privacy when the blinds are closed. It was very convenient to have a full-sized refrigerator and kitchen area. The location was spectacular. There are walkable breakfast/coffee places and it's a short drive to the major highways and Balboa park.
