I spent 4 days in San Diego to catch some sun on the beach, eat some good fish tacos and go to a friend's wedding at the Catamaran Club. Isabel's charming carriage house offered the perfect escape from my normal hectic urban life.

It's great that the apartment is completely separate from the home as the extra privacy truly allows you to relax. The room is large and spacious with high ceilings, lots of natural light and windows that allow for a great deal of air flow on hot days.

The apartment is a short 10 minute bike ride from Pacific Beach, which is where I spent most of my time. Isabel has bicycles that you can borrow and they made getting around the area incredibly easy. There are lots of great restaurants, bars and cafes in the area.

I will definitely be going back to San Diego in the future and would love to stay with Isabel again : )
