Welcome to this charming 1915 Craftsman, a home filled with history, creativity, and a deep sense of care. This was our mother’s house, and much of the artwork, décor, and color throughout the space reflects her original vision. We’ve preserved what made it special while updating the essentials for comfort and ease.

We welcome guests from all over the world, and we’ve shaped the home to feel warm, personal, and inviting—whether you're here for work, exploration, or rest.

A fully equipped, modern kitchen featuring:
• Extensive dishware & eclectic glassware
• Coffee maker, French press, kettle, blender

Everything you need to cook a real meal—or several.

Outdoor Spaces

A street-facing patio perfect for morning coffee, plus a shaded pergola seating area at the front of the property for relaxing in the evenings.

The Neighborhood

Located in one of San Diego’s most vibrant historic urban neighborhoods—where I’ve lived since 2008—it offers unbeatable access to the city’s best areas: Downtown, Gaslamp, Balboa Park, North Park, South Park, Hillcrest, Bankers Hill, Barrio Logan, Coronado, and the Convention Center. You're also just 20 minutes from the border.

This home is a comfortable, soulful base for exploring San Diego like a local.
