All in all, we had a great stay at Mireielle's guest house. Very private, centrally located, and extremely close to Balboa Park. The backyard was full of gorgeous flowers and succulents; it was very peaceful place to spend time. Mireille was responsive and provided additional towels and an iron when requested.

Now, there were a few minor issues we had with the stay. First, the mattress was a bit too soft for my tastes. Also, it's a double size mattress, so it sleeps two people, but rather cozily so. Also, the bathroom is small and lacks a fan to vent air when showering. As a result, the smoke detector begins to beep a warning chirp for a few minutes after showering due to the increase in humidity in the cottage. Finally, speaking of chirping, I would recommend bringing earplugs if you're at all a light sleeper. A mockingbird has taken up residence outside of the cottage and most every night of our stay, he was up at 2AM singing his wide variety of songs and alerting all the neighborhood birds that this was his territory. At first, we thought it was pretty funny, but after night four, it was definitely affecting our sleep. This is not so much a knock on the rental property itself (there's not really anything that Mireielle could do about this bird) just letting folks know that it could be a factor if you stay here.
