My teenage granddaughter and I had the most wonderful stay at Shirley's B and B. Granddaughter claimed the alcove sleeping area as her own; I had the regular bed and we both slept like babies. The fireplace in the living room was fun and more than enough to take the chill off in early morning and late evening. Having the whole backyard to ourselves was a serene experience. I enjoyed a daily walk on the Canyon trail which starts right outside the apartment. The neighborhood feels safe and comfortable for walking. We enjoyed nearby restaurants and shops as well as Balboa park and the zoo.
Shirley is a marvelous host- there when we needed her and unobtrusive when we didn't. The apartment is well-thought-out and functional. I felt so at home it was hard to leave.
