This place was as advertised but the extra mile/details made it even more outstanding. Not only does this place have a "cool factor", it has plenty of room to spread out and really make yourself feel at home. Communication was tremendous and they let me know when the home was available for midday arrival. Responses were informative and quick. When we arrived, the home was immaculate clean and fresh. The host has thought of everything: games, books, tour pamphlets, beach towels, basic toiletries, laundry soap etc. We had one of the smoke detectors start chirping and they have 9V batteries on site so I could change it out. No detail has been left out. Area is somewhat residential in the hills and felt very safe. I would call this place a 20 minute trip to any of the major SD sites (Zoo, Gaslamp district, Little Italy etc). I would stay here again with my family. Don't skip this place, this is where you want to stay if you have a larger group!!!
