We had a wonderful 6-night getaway at Zen Studio. South Mission Beach was the perfect location for what we wanted: centrally located to explore the San Diego area, yet steps from the bay and the beach. Rob and Laura were kind hosts who made arrival easy and provided all of the necessities to make the studio our home. We enjoyed the outdoor grill and sitting with ocean breezes in a very quiet neighbourhood. Short walk to a couple of fun pubs (Beachcomber and Pennant) to chat with locals and ate some tasty food at Sara's Mexican Food stand. We had a blast with the boogie boards in the surf and enjoyed beautiful sunsets on the beach as well as quiet evenings on the bayside. Rented a car (great to have a parking space) and explored Gas Lamp, Little Italy Saturday Market, Old Town, Harbourfront. Also hiked Torrey Pines State Park, took the trolley to the Outlet mall at the border, enjoyed a lovely lunch at George's on the Cove, La Jolla and walked the rocks with the sea lions. Can't wait to come back!
