Absolutely charming bungalow in the heart of Hillcrest! We’ve walked by Alcazar Court for years, admiring the impeccable design and lush landscaping, and often in a state of being jealous of the inhabitants - they looked so happy enjoying coffee or a glass of wine on the front patios. We finally decided to really look into this place and lo and behold, one thing led to another. We stayed in the studio for 5 nights over a long weekend for San Diego Pride. It was just perfect! The location is amazing - so close to favorite watering holes, shops, Balboa Park and all things Hillcrest. Upon passing through the front gate, we fawned over the manicured landscaping yet again - perfect photo opporunity. Going through the front door felt like time slowed down. We loved all of the 1920s accoutrements, books, and guest-friendly touches. The split-system A/C worked like a charm as it was unusually hot a couple of days. Being able to see into the kitchen’s glass upper cabinets helped us find exactly what we needed without the usual hunt. Although appliances were smaller, it made sense as this is a petite bungalow. The quality in materials was there, and well-appointed, down to the martini glasses and champagne flutes. The bathroom was a dream - clean, well-lit, ample amount of drawers and counter space for 2, and the cabinets held all of the extras: washer/dryer (which are fabulous for an extended stay and made our friends who stayed at the hotels downtown very jealous), cleaning products, fan, iron and luxury waffle towels and robes. We loved pulling down the Murphy bed, which revealed a giant mirror. The bed light switch is on a dimmer and just needs a slight touch of the fingertip to operate. We hosted a couple of friends, and with the Murphy bed up, we had plenty of space to enjoy a couple of drinks before heading out for the evening. We also loved that this bungalow is the only bungalow with a private patio; we could have sat on the patio looking up at the surrounding trees in the morning and at dusk for many days more. I should be telling you that this place is awful so that we are assured a spot in the future - sometimes you don’t want too many people to know about a good thing. However, in this world, especially now, we want to publicly congratulate and share our deep appreciation to Donna for creating Alcazar Court, and thank Kristen for her superb customer service. We will be back!
