Summary: This is a very special upstairs in-law apartment on a quiet street in the wonderful neighborhood of South Park. The home is full of light and beautifully decorated with West Elm and Mid-Century Modern vintage furniture. The Space: The home is meticulously maintained. The unit is for non-smokers and does not host pets. For your comfort, all cleaning products are as fragrance free and as allergy free as possible. Luxury bedding, air conditioning, high-speed internet (both bard-wired and WiFi) and 32 inch HDTV with premium cable are included. The sofa turns into a comfortable twin bed (not a futon or pull out couch) so this home can comfortably accommodate up to 3 guests (4 if the children are little). The charming kitchen has the perfect "Gramma" style Formica table and all the cooking supplies you will need. The host owner has set this home up the way she prefers it when she travels and, as a result, the unit comes with all the comforts of a home only better. Guest Access: This is a stand-alone mother-in-law that is above the garage which is entirely separate from the main house. The Neighborhood: The hip, historic neighborhood of South Park in San Diego has "small town charm in the heart of the city." No chain stores or restaurants (except for a 7/11). Wide tree-lined streets with Victorian to Spanish homes, fabulous restaurants, yoga and fitness centers, salons, coffee shops, friendly nightlife, great shopping, full grocery store, organic and gourmet market. All of these and more are within 2 to 6 small blocks of the house! Things to do in the neighborhood... take a nice walk or bike ride, explore boutiques, get a massage, do some yoga, have a casual or gourmet dinner, bring your guitar for open mic night or catch a band at Rebecca's Coffee Shop, or play a little pool and dance at the Whistle Stop. Enjoy a hand crafted beer, a wine flight or visit during the four yearly Walkabout events and meet all the friendly locals, snack, listen to music and visit the shops in the evening.

Two blocks to Bus 2 heading downtown to the Gaslamp, trolley, train station, and Convention Center. Across a canyon to Balboa Park or the Zoo. 10 minutes from the airport and 8 minutes to Coronado Island and the most beautiful beaches for walking, swimming and catching some waves (ask the owner about the short cut and parking secrets as she is an avid beach-goer and boogie-boarder). There is a gorgeous and reasonable Municipal Golf Course just around the corner. For transportation there is both Car2go area and several options to rent bikes close by. Finally, your culinary needs will be satisfied by several nearby farmers markets to stock up on fresh, local foods. Other Things to Note: For stays longer than 30 days, I require a deposit in the amount of one month's rent to be paid offline due 60 days prior to arrival as well as a formal lease agreement. Despite any stated cancellation policy, I will refund 100% for any cancellations made prior to 90 days from your arrival date. Thereafter I will refund your rental fee to the extent I am able to re-rent the unit for the days cancelled. Interaction with Guests: As little or as much as you prefer... The host, Luci lives in the home in the front which is just steps from the guest house but a completely separate structure and she loves hosting and caring for her guests so please do not hesitate to reach out for support or advice! For ease and after hours checkin, we are a self-service destination (check-in details will be sent 3 days prior to arrival). However, we are also a full-service, professional management company (that has been a Superhost/Preferred Partner for over 4 years running) and we are just a phone call/text/email away and have agents that are almost never more than 10 minutes away should a need arise.
