My partner and I stayed here during the pandemic as a way to work from home, away from home, for a week. The location was great, especially if you like walking or running. The Northpark neighborhood and all its great food and drink options (with outdoor dining and takeout) were only a few minutes away by car, and took about half an hour to walk to when we went on a morning stroll. My partner particularly enjoyed running around Balboa Park, which was only a few minutes away by running, and an even shorter drive. The San Diego Zoo and other places within Balboa Park were all easily accessible as well, only a 5-minute drive away. Anything else we needed (grocery stores, Asian markets such as H-Mart, downtown, etc.) were all accessible via a short drive as well, which made it easy to feel like we were comfortably living there.
The actual studio was quite nice and quaint. Everything was neat and organized. The kitchen was stocked with silverware, plates, pots, pans, and trays. It also had a nice island that we used to have meals and work at. The place had a TV with Firestick (so we can stream from most apps on our phone) and the couch and pillows were a nice touch. The bathrooms didn't have any supplies, but that was okay because we brought our own body wash, shampoo, and conditioner and other personal hygiene items.
James and Danielle were very responsive and accommodating to any issue or question we had. As we were working from home, my partner felt that the WiFi was slow or not working, and James was quick to reset the router to fix the issues. When we made the mistake of plugging in too many things one night, the electricity went out at a few outlets and Danielle fix the issue first thing in the morning. They have some very friendly dogs who were quiet and very friendly (honestly seeing them in the morning from a distance made our mornings when we left the house).
Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay. I wish we could be more critical but honestly there wasn't much we weren't happy about that James and Danielle didn't help us with right away. Our work-from-home vacation was a success, and this place and the hosts played a huge role in that. Thank you James and Danielle!
