This is a beautiful home right by the beach. It's a crowded neighborhood, so expect some noise, but a great area with convenient access to Ralph's, Trader Joe's, many great restaurants and a beautiful beach. It's also a great home base for excursions to the Zoo, Safari Park, Balboa Park and other San Diego area attractions. My only warning would be to avoid bringing big cars (SUVs, etc) - the garage is quite small and has a low ceiling.
