What a restful private stay. Troy initially checked in with me. To make me feel she was accessible but then immediately gave me my privacy. What a great sustainable piece of land. Troy has turned her property into an amazing example for anyone who wants to live with nature. The rain barrels catching the rain water off the roof gutters to water the plants. All the succulents to protect water usage in San Diego. I'm a Chef and found all her herbs and fruits growing that she offered to share. I took full advantage. The patio was enchanting. You would never know you're in a residential area in San Diego. I think I even saw a flock of 20 green parrots park in one of her trees and chatter for 10 minutes. I met the landscaper Dan who was working on site one of the afternoons. I chatted with him and found out he plays disc golf my favorite past time. He gave me directions to some great parks to go fiddle around in. He was very approachable and nice but respected my privacy all the same. The casita was cozy. Even though one night it was bitter cold outside (Not normal for San Diego) the heaters she provided were perfect. Inside she has thought of everything. From the Grocery discount card on the key ring to two wine glasses and real silverware stored in a small kitchenette in the corner of the living space. What a great experience. I will be back for sure to stay again in the future.
