Colin's Private Garden Studio was a perfect, cosy little place to stay. It was clean, quiet and exactly as shown in the pictures. The bed was comfortable and the wall heater kept the place toasty at night. Colin was very easy to communicate with, friendly and responsive and his dog, Lola, very sweet. He provided bottled water and coffee. The neighborhood is very walkable, with charming houses and palm tree lined streets. There is a cafe less than 10 minutes away and very cool bars and restaurants on Adams Ave. There are also a lot of breweries within walking distance. It's close to Balboa Park and the zoo (10 minute car ride) and downtown. I would definitely stay here again.
