Kendra's home is absolutely lovely. The view out of the kitchen has an Italian feel to it since you see a valley of lights and life. The space is quiet and comforting. You may hear Kendra and fam downstairs, but just normal life sounds. And you'll hear birds outside the windows.
The neighborhood is kind - you'll see neighbors walking their dogs, maybe hear the drummer next door playing during the day. It's within walking distance of SEVERAL shops and restaurants, and within short drive to the airport, a Whole Foods and the beach. The Sunset Cliffs were beautiful.
Kendra has an indoor/outdoor cat. If you tap on the food can and call his name he will come right up to you and inside for a meal. He'll hang around for a bit for some pets and a comfy nap, then head out again to patrol the perimeter. If you don't like cats, no worries. Just don't call for him or let him in.
SO MANY PILLOWS!! So that was nice. The master bedroom is quite spacious, and the smaller room off the kitchen is just the right size for 1 adult or 1-2 little ones. You can leave the windows open at night with San Diego's cool weather. It may get a bit warm during the day if you don't turn anything on, but the place does have window units and fans so you can get the space as cold as you need.
There is no TV, but it was lovely to escape TV noise for me. Multiple screens are always going in my home. Nowadays if you have an iPad or laptop, you don't really need a TV in the space. The wifi worked perfectly.
If you like to buy your own food when traveling, the kitchen is fully equipped - gas stove, coffee pot, instapot (I think. I caught a quick glance when I was cleaning. Might have been a crock pot), pans, cooking utensils, wine glasses, bottle opener, silver ware, Tupperware, plates, glasses, coffee cups, ziplock bags, etc. There are also beach towels and cleaning supplies if needed.
Kendra and her husband are also genuinely nice people. I met them both the last night of my stay and they are kind and easy to talk to. She was extremely responsive to the messages I sent her.
I really LOVED the space and intend on staying there again when I'm in San Diego for future classes, or if I just need to escape real life for a few days :)
