This is an amazing place. I felt like I was walking into a mix of modern convenience with the elegance and character of California in the early 1900s. The entire experience was unique and exciting and, incredibly, it was so easy and convenient to get to the zoo, downtown San Diego, and anywhere in the city even without a car. I also loved the community feel with the private garden. Staying in the downstairs room was surprisingly cozy and relaxing, like I was in my own private area. I fully recommend this place for a great stay in San Diego.
