My husband and I were looking for a tropical beach getaway without having to leave the states and we got exactly that experience at Laura and Rob's Zen Studio. The studio was exactly as described. During our stay we had complete privacy. We loved using the bikes to visit the beach just a few blocks away. The neighborhood is nice and quiet; the Mission Beach location is a short car ride away from Downtown, the Gaslamp, or Balboa Park, which made for less local traffic/noise without a long drive or sitting in any freeway traffic. Having access to cooking supplies allowed us to try local fresh food offerings and save money. I would absolutely recommend this studio to anyone looking to stay in San Diego.
