We really enjoyed our 3-night stay at Marvin and Adrienne’s place. The room is private with a separate entrance, and it is roomy and well-appointed. We also enjoyed sitting out on the back patio in their lovely backyard. It’s about a 10-15 min walk to the beach. There’s a Trader Joe’s within walking distance and about a 10 min walk to a great breakfast spot, Java Earth Coffee. We didn’t have a car, but there was ample street parking in this quiet residential neighborhood. All in all, they are great hosts and I recommend this as a base for exploring San Diego.
