When I first parked in front of the big yellow Victorian house I was a bit worried - it looked a bit worn and in need of a good painting. However, once I stepped into my space I was blown away by the beautiful and clean California cottage style decoration, inspired by the function the building had before. It was all very thoughtful, the bathroom was small, but had everything I needed and I really appreciated all the extras in the fridge - cold beer, beverages and a water filtering pitcher. I stayed for 5 nights and had a few meetings to attend, wifi was great and I loved working on the high kitchen table. I was worried about noise from the street, but it was very quiet and I slept fabulously. Also felt very safe at all times. Only downside is that the outside isn't that inviting yet, but I have a feeling that the owner is working on that and to be honest, it didn't really bother me once I stayed there. There is a great guest book with recommendations for dining out, we tried a few and they were all incredibly good. Those recommendations in itself are worth staying here! I love the South Park neighborhood, my daughter lives here now and it is so vibrant, green, has wonderful places to hang out and is close to Balboa park. Definitely would stay here again.
