This lovely property is spacious, comfortable and quiet; the perfect home away for our three-week stay in San Diego. The suite is spotless and well maintained and the presence of an on-sight owner/manager was a bonus. Kent was on hand to welcome us and always available if we had questions. We found the posting photos and property description wholly accurate – and, if anything, understated. Appliances are quality, furniture substantial and everything is in perfect operating order.

To our great surprise and delight, we found the house surrounded by a mature landscaped garden that rewarded us with beautiful garden views from every window. Even at night its presence is apparent, with spotlights accenting various garden features. So nice! We also loved the fountain in our private courtyard that lulled us to sleep each night and in the morning drew hummingbirds. We could watch them bathe while sipping coffee on the balcony just a few feet above. I mean, this place is special!

And all of this is but a few minutes’ drive to Balboa Park, museums, restaurants, supermarket, downtown and Old Town and the interstate that connects to everything. So conveniently located! Timken Museum in Balboa Park is a jewel; free admission and an app that narrates its small but stellar collection makes for a nice morning.

We found THE best tacos on the planet at The Taco Stand in La Jolla. Once you eat there, you’ll understand why there’s an almost ever-present line. It moves quickly, so don’t give up. I liked the chicken taco with cilantro and chipotle sauce. Another great lunch stop is Oscar’s Mexican Seafood just down from Ralph’s supermarket on University. The Fisherman’s Torta is their #1 item and enough for two. Don’t miss it! Look for house made sauces in the beverage cooler.

Bottom line, this is a great place to call home, both inside and out. Lucky are the guests who can secure a booking here.
