Our family had a wonderful time, staying at this spacious house to host a special birthday for my Mom. The house is well laid out, with plenty of space on the main level. Once past the gate, there is a welcoming front-patio with outdoor seating. The main level of the house includes a kitchen, dining area, space for entertaining (including a piano, which was enjoyed thoroughly by musicians in our family) ... and also a nice office/study/library area.
The bedrooms are on the lower level of this "canyon-rim" house, which means that there are plenty of windows and views all around on both levels. The master bathroom is nicely tiled: it has dual vanities, a spacious walk-in shower as well as a bathtub.
The house is on a tucked-away street, which means that there is ample street parking (in addition to a 2-car garage). There are lots of restaurants within a short walking distance. The house overlooks Hwy 8 - at some distance. Traffic noise is usually not a problem, although an occasionally loud engine may make itself heard when everything else is quiet.
Bill is an excellent host. He communicated with us promptly while we were finalizing the arrangements, and also when we needed help to address a minor issue. There were many thoughtful touches: a Nespresso machine (with the necessary accoutrements & an ample supply of pods), as well as half-and-half, bottled water, fruit, and a couple of bottles of wine to greet us when we arrived. Check-in/out was a breeze and the WiFi was consistent and problem-free.
I would highly recommend Bill's listing for anyone who needs a spacious house that is tucked-away, but still located close to everything in San Diego.
