Mireille's place was an oasis of green in the city. The gardens were lovely, and we loved sitting outside on the back patio watching the hummingbirds and soaking up the morning sun. The location was great, in a neighborhood of cute houses and very close to Balboa Park. We felt entirely safe during our visit. There are some great little places to eat and shop within reasonable walking distance. The decor was very nice, and the kitchen and dining area was spacious. We appreciated having a sink and appliances. Although cooking needs to be done on a hot pot, there is a nice toaster oven that works great. The bathroom is small but clean. The bed was very comfortable. The only thing we would have liked would have been bedside tables, as there was no place to put phones, water, etc. Also, although there were several bureaus, etc. most of the drawers were used for blankets, etc. so there was no good place to put our clothes (although there was a wardrobe to hang things, which was nice). Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and you can't beat the location! Thank you, ​Mireille.
