Cannot beat this location because it was really quiet. You are in a separate structure tucked behind the main house. Plus, you have a really great koi pond complete with a waterfall just a few feet away from your casita. The waterfall is the perfect white-noise machine substitute - heck, it was much better. That combined with the a nice patio seating area/pergola made this an excellent spot to relax, which is rare to find.
We really enjoyed this gem while we could. Have to appreciate the driveway parking as well. A huge plus, very nice of the owners. Balboa park was just a few blocks away.
We are really picky, but both me and the wife gave this one 5 stars.
