This lovely place is the upper unit in a free-standing building that sits behind the main house. No one was in the lower unit while we stayed here. The place is beautiful and restful. It's off the road and in the back, and feels very, very private. The interior is beautiful and clean, and the architecture dates from the early 19th century (not sure what it's called - metropolitan? arts and crafts?)
We needed a restful stay after a few days in hotels dealing with a death in the family. This was just the place. The folks in the front unit (who I think are the owners) gave us total privacy. And the neighborhood is pretty quiet (it's not far from SAN airport though, so you do hear jets).
Lots of quick communication and clear instructions and information. Kitchen has all the basics. No bath tub, but the shower is large. We also used the laundry unit downstairs which was close and convenient. I spent a couple of hours tapping on my laptop on the little balcony under the trees, listening to the fountain that sits at the base of the stairs (if you've got mobility issues, this unit is only accessible by stairs).
We would absolutely stay here again, and since we have relatives here, we probably will!
