We can't say enough amazing things about this incredible place! We stayed for two nights and had an absolutely perfect time.
The guest house is on a quiet road and set back behind a gate... When you enter, you feel like you're in your own little personal jungle / garden / nature oasis. Kristen has a beautiful home and the guest house sits privately next to it - we had access to the large outside area with comfortable patio furniture and hot tub! The guest house itself is warm, inviting and super comfortable. We made a pot of coffee every morning and loved waking up to the natural, beautiful San Diego light.
Kristen, her husband and daughter are such a kind, friendly and helpful family - they set us up with bikes and sun hats, and left us a ridiculously comprehensive guide of where to go and what to do. It was the perfect blend of complete privacy and helpful hosting. We loved sitting out on the patio catching rays, riding bikes all around the bay, Boardwalk and up to La Jolla, and taking in everything Pacific Beach has to offer.
One of our friends who lives in PB came over to say hi, and she said that SHE wanted to stay there even though she already has a house!
Staying at Kristen's confirmed to us yet again that Airbnb is such a great alternative to hotels if you really want to experience the local charm and personality of a new city.
When we come back to San Diego (and we definitely will!) we hope to come back to Kristen's again. Can't recommend highly enough!
