First, Ian is just an amazing host. Attention to detail, great communications, and very accommodating nature are all accolades that we experienced.
All Information on Ian's home; photo's, and descriptive information is completely accurate and up to date.
Ian's place served as our home away from home for my wife and I celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. While the beach areas were not the focus of our trip I would offer that the location of the home strikes a very nice balance of being in good proximity to the beaches without the undesirable elements of being right on the beach, like noise, parking problems, and social elements that might not complement a family vacation. While on this subject there is off-street driveway parking that would accommodate two smaller cars or one large SUV. Also the home is located in a quiet neighborhood and we experienced just that.
Some details on the home: all furnishings were up to date, very comfortable, and thoughtfully placed. If your on vacation and still want to watch some TV you'll love this, two nice Samsung TV's being served by Direct TV. The larger unit is a Smart TV so if you want to keep up with your Netflix series while your gone you can. Also noteworthy WIFI is usually something that leaves a lot to be desired in a rental unit. Not here, rock solid high speed service! As for outside space there is a very nice patio in the back, fully equipped for enjoyment. The grill is also something that usually is a disappointment and poorly maintained in most rentals. Again, not here, near new Weber gas grill clean and ready to go with a full complement of grilling tools.
Upon arrival we found the home spotlessly clean, and well prepared with nice attention to detail. From check-in to check-out our experience here was excellent. Do to the very special nature of our visit to San Diego I shopped for our accommodation's very hard and I am very comfortable in saying that Ian's Place is a superior value in the San Diego market!
