The Unicorn is truly a San Diego gem. This is my third summer in a row staying here and I hope to come back for many more. Gala and her family are warm and gracious hosts. They don’t advertise it, but they go out of their way to make you feel at home with little packs of oatmeal or hot chocolate and magazines with local tips and sites. I’m a SD native but it’s worth it to me to pay to stay at Gala’s for the location plus parking is not to be under appreciated in this neighborhood! The location is a short 15 minute leisurely walk to the beach, a CVS, and all the bars, shops, and restaurants, so you can park your car and just relax the rest of the weekend without needing to move it. Or you can explore SD without fear of finding street parking upon your return. The bed is a gigantic CA king, the bathroom is clean, and the kitchen has everything you would need for a basic stay (you’d be crazy to cook much given all the great food just down the street in OB). Highly recommended!
