My partner and I stayed with Wolfgang and Blair in their peaceful garden studio for a week while I was attending a conference at the convention center. The garden studio was exactly what we wanted (and needed) after spending hours each day wading through crowds in downtown. North Park is a wonderful neighborhood, with quiet bungalow-lined streets, and plenty of nice shops and restaurants along nearby thirtieth avenue. The studio is so well designed that we never really felt the small size was a problem. The large double doors open onto a beautiful private deck, effectively doubling it's square footage. The lovely hinged windows are well placed to fill the space with warm light in the afternoon, as well as keep a comfortable breeze moving through the space while they're propped open (we pretty much never kept them closed). The creative touches that Blair and Wolfgang have added to the space make it feel like a cross between a home and an art gallery, in the best way possible of course.
Blair and Wolfgang are very respectful of their guests privacy, but are always available to help or answer questions. It is apparent that they are passionate and dedicated hosts. We had a great time in San Diego, but staying in Blair and Wolfgang's garden was by far our favorite part!
