My boyfriend and I were trying to decide on where to stay on my birthday trip to San Diego and we had a tough time deciding between the city or the beach. We wanted to be close to downtown to experience urban San Diego but also wanted to hit the beach while we were so close. We decided to stay at Mudville Flats because it offered a unique hotel/B&B/apt feel and it looked relatively close to everything we wanted to do. We were blown away by how perfect Mudville Flats was for us. We're not the type to do reviews like this but Mike and Linda deserve the best reviews possible. Booking was a breeze and our special check in and check out times were accommodated without a problem. When we got there, Linda greeted us and gave us a quick and friendly run through of the amenities and even offered us their personal parking space to accommodate our large truck. Linda was so great and really took an interest in our stay and gave us great suggestions for food and entertainment...the kind of suggestions that you want when visiting a new city. When we told Linda we were celebrating my birthday she brought down a special gift too. So sweet! The back patio is quiet and spacious and is the perfect place to relax away from the city...you don't even feel like you're in the city. My boyfriend and I love to cook and the flat is well stocked with pots, pans, and other cooking utensils and, best of all, everythng worked. The room is fantastic: spacious, cozy, clean with a terrific king-size bed. There are even board games in the rooms which we found ourselves playing each night. We were sad to have to leave and will certainly stay at Mudville Flats again.
