Hiding in plain sight, this studio apartment in Little Italy is tucked away in a quiet corner that's just minutes from the action. Half a mile to the west, fresh seafood and waterside sunsets, and a twelve-minute stroll to the east, 1,200-acre Balboa Park is where culture, science and nature combine to provide an oasis in the city. Your hosts have thoughtfully kitted out this compact studio with everything you need and nothing you don't. But it's far from a spartan space. The four-poster bed adds a touch of luxury, while the stylish mid-century-inspired furniture keeps things classy and contemporary. Step onto the street, and you're right in the centre of it all, with Little Italy's family-owned restaurants, local farmers' markets (every Wednesday morning), art galleries, boutiques and bars laid out before you. There's more to explore here than you could ever hope to fit into a single visit. We suspect you'll be returning sooner or later.
