Where to even begin...
Catherine is THE consummate host. If you are lucky enough to get to meet her and have a chat you will undoubtedly fall in love with her wonderful and EXTREMELY friendly personality. I consider her a new friend now and I really look forward to the next time!
She will make your stay in an already incredible city, just that bit more amazing and easy.
I stayed in this amazing bungalow for a week and while I can see the appeal for couples (it is very romantic and cosy) it was equally as great traveling solo.
Her guest bungalow is meticulous and is really a perfect place to stay in San Diego. You are close to everything - I mean all the best restaurants, the zoo, shopping, beaches, highways etc, OUT OF THE FLIGHT PATH (if you have never been to SD, portions of the city are seriously affected by the flight paths) and quietly tucked away. The suite is extremely clean and beautifully decorated. It is such a unique design to get in this part of the world so take advantage of this little slice of Bali. Catherine stocked the fridge and left goodies and all kinds of thoughtful little tips and maps.
It a light a breezy space yet it can be made dark and cozy with black out curtains and a heater at night. The back courtyard area is just perfect and I miss the fire pit already.
Zero problems with anything... Except for having to leave!
Catherine is laid back, excellent with communication and questions and she will go out of her way to make your stay perfect.
I had problems with my phone service so next thing I know, Catherine brings me a spare cell phone, insisting that I keep it with me just in case!
In my hurried travel I had forgot to tell her in advance that I am allergic to down, so when I arrived I felt really bad for having forgotten because the bed was made with (very comfortable) down bedding. Without hesitation Catherine finds alternatives and even switched everything out with down-alternative for me while I ran to the store. She is extremely thoughtful and helpful, the kind of person that you want to be staying with. You can't get such personal attention and care at a hotel or B&B.
I could not recommend staying with her more.
Merci beaucoup Catherine!!!
