Guesthouse in San Diego
Central & Serene Secret Garden Guesthouse
This home features a stylish and colorful decor that uses vibrant hues and bold patterns to give each space a fun energy. Watch TV in the bedroom before heading out to the picturesque private garden for quiet conversations and relaxation. My space is cozy AND cool. I am a designer by trade and LOVE to make my guests feel comfortable in style! Enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine in my backyard cottage garden that the casita opens on to! The lockbox code is 1962 I always try to meet all guests- I am on the premises when not working to help you best enjoy my casita, the village of Kensington and San Diego in general. My style of hosting is to give you privacy while being a text away on the Airbnb app! My guests always come first! Central Kensington is a wonderful, historic San Diego neighborhood that is home to boutique shops and many local eateries. Stroll through nearby Balboa Park, try craft brews downtown, and head to the beach for a day of exciting seaside activities. I am a 2 minute walk to a bus stop, a 5 minute drive from the San Diego trolley and I have a private parking space reserved for you. Quiet, cozy, private and CENTRAL and WALKABLE to all Kensington Village downtown has to offer (which is alot) !
