I had a wonderful stay at Amy’s place. Definitely one of the most unique Airbnb’s I have stayed in. The lush garden transported me to another place of pure serenity- I couldn’t believe I was still in the middle of San Diego and not another country!
Amy is a great host and the check-in/out process was very easy. I also appreciated her guest guidebook and I visited most of the places listed there to eat/shop! The neighborhood is very safe, artsy, and walkable (coming from a solo, female traveler). I actually didn’t rent a car and was able to get to all my locations (which included La Jolla, Coronado, and downtown) via walking, bus (which was cheap and easy to use - download the Pronto app to your phone), or an affordable Lyft/Uber. There is plenty of street parking if you do bring a car, however.
I ran in to Amy on my last night there and she was very friendly and answered my questions about a local donut spot. The studio itself is also very lovely - comfy bed, great shower pressure, etc. I also took advantage of the heat during the chilly(ish) mornings but most days the temperature was perfect in San Diego (April) and I would leave the doors open and just enjoy the sounds of the garden. Definitely book for a relaxing and one of a kind stay.
