I stayed at Carl's and Vicky's home for 5 nights with my wife and my daughter's family (daughter, son in law and granddaughter) visiting from England. The occasion was my youngest son wedding on an avenue in Point Loma 0.7 miles away from the house.
The house was the perfect environment to spend time with my two sons living in San Diego in their own apartment and the younger daughter who had a hotel reservation. We spent good family time in the house hosting my four children with their spouses or future spouse or girlfriend for meals and a good family reunion.
We spent one day at San Diego Zoo and we were impressed with the animals and birds hosted there but more so by the magnificent plants, flowers and trees. My wife and I think that the San Diego zoo - which is one of the top zoo's in the world - should be renamed to San Diego Zoological and Botanical Gardens for this reasons.
My son's rehearsal dinner at Buona Furchetta Italian restaurant and the wedding at Thursday Club went very well.
Carl was very careful to contact me before our stay at their house started to provide me with all needed information on how to enter the house and specific house amenities. He also was flexible with checkin/checkout times since there was no other guest scheduled with overlapping time.
The house was the perfect environment for our stay and family reunion and has great views of the Ocean Beach part of the San Diego coast.
Carl was also extremely helpful when I figured out that I left my 4 Terra Bytes portable hard drive in the house. He made arrangements to mail the drive to my house - so this was a huge relief since the drive contained all my family photos, movie clips and some documents.
