The location was perfect! It was so close to all the things we wanted to see such as Balboa Park, the zoo, La Jolla, and more. The neighborhood is great and super close to many stores, restaurants, bars, and felt safe to go walking in. Weekends are much busier. If you’re a light sleeper you’ll hear the cars passing by as it’s somewhat of a busy corner.
We were three adults and a toddler. Donna offered us a crib and highchair, which was super helpful. We decided to rent a car and most evenings had no problem finding parking nearby. The longest it took one night was about 7 minutes and only because I was trying to staying within a certain range.
The property itself was wonderful. A well-groomed landscaped entrance welcomes you as you walk into a very cozy and vintage-decorated bungalow. It was very clean, which is always so nice to see. My mom stayed on the bed and my sister and I slept on the sofa bed which I found to be comfier than most sleepers. Kitchen and bathroom are stocked with the essentials. If you bring home any leftovers, you’d have to use the oven or stove as there was no microwave. Not a dealbreaker for us but just something to keep in mind if you’re bringing back leftovers.
Donna was very responsive. I would definitely recommend staying here. It’s in a lively neighborhood in the perfect location.
