Chris' place was fantastic, and just a short drive to so many family-friendly spots like Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo, and some great local parks. It was very family- and kid-friendly. My kids enjoyed snacks on the rooftop deck. We wished we could have used the pool more (it was too cold that day) but that was no fault of the host. My kids enjoyed their stay so much that they did not want to leave. It was the perfect size for a family of four. We would not hesitate to stay again.
