My husband and I have been married for 25 years and have three children, ages 23, 19 and 16. We are the owners of the San Diego Bed & Breakfast, which we founded in 2005 and which had been on hiatus for 10 years until August, 2019. I am a former preschool teacher and now manage our B&B. My husband is a former CEO of the US subsidiary of a Berlin-based technology company.

Things I like: dates with my husband, travel, conversation, riding the surf on a Boogie-board and bike riding.

Favorite destinations: Paris and Barcelona; favorite book: the "Twilight" series; favorite movie: "The Sound of Music"; favorite food: Mediterranean in general.

Our life motto would be: to treat others the way in which we would want to be treated, and to live and let live.

Location, location, location: Not only in one of the "hippest neighborhoods" in the US, but on a classic 1924 residential street in walking distance from all that North Park has to offer.

Intentionally luxurious: Designed and furnished for your comfort. The living room is inspired by 19th-century reading rooms with a reading library and leather furniture. Technology includes Netflix streaming on 4K HDTV's, Bose home theater and wireless phone charging. The bedroom is sophisticated and comfortable with Pottery Barn furniture and microfiber sheets and pillows. The kitchen maintains it classic 1939 design and is accented with crystal glassware for our guests.

Private: Your own private parking space, private entrance and you have the entire guest house to yourself.

How it feels: In the dappled light of a 50-foot Ash tree, the second-story space feels above it all. But more than that, our guests have told us that it feels like an elegant home away from home. This is intentional. Our goal is that our guests feel special when they are here and have wonderful memories of being here and how they felt when they were here. We are on-site in the front house, so we are available if guests need anything.

This B&B was designed specifically for a couples to have an elegant, private and memorable retreat, and a place to create wonderful memories.

It was also designed for business travelers to work in a beautiful and restorative environment, that feels like an elegant home.

The following is a special note to business travelers. We understand the business needs of business travelers. High-speed wireless Internet is essential. You also need a comfortable desk chair and a well-lit desk on which to work. An inkjet printer and scanner is available upon your request (please note that it will require the download and installation of the required printer drivers on your computer).

Business travel can be difficult. So equally important is a quiet environment, comfortable mattress, pillows and sheets, and a perfect room temperature with an accurate and quiet climate control system. This is because the demands of travel and meetings may allow only a minimum opportunity for sleep. Therefore, the ability to sleep comfortably and awaken refreshed is crucial to your effectiveness. This is why we have installed double-paned, sound-resistant windows, the finest bed, mattress and bedding, and the quietest, top-of-the-line Trane climate control system. That being said, this neighborhood of North Park is not completely quiet. It has the normal sounds of a vibrant neighborhood, with people taking evening walks, walking their dogs and socializing.

For decompressing after an intense day, and perhaps an evening of email, you have the option of cable TV, Netflix movies, music through Bose systems in each room and a reading library. The particular benefit of the suite is that the bedroom is not your work room, which offers an important environmental and psychological break from the tasks at hand, allowing you to relax and to fall asleep more easily.

Just a three-minute drive to the 805 Freeway, and a five-minute drive to the 5 Freeway and Downtown, you are conveniently located.
