Mari's house is perfect, especially if you have little ones with you. My husband and I traveled with our 1 and 4 year old, and Mari's place made our visit to San Diego super easy. The large backyard gave the kiddos a place to run around when we were at the house, giving us parents a little bit of time to relax ourselves. Furthermore, the house is super conveniently located close to everything. SD Zoo is about 20 minutes, Torrey Pines is about 20 minutes, and Coronado is about 30 minutes. Also, the house is right near Kate Sessions park which has the most beautiful views and has great large open spaces for the little ones to run around. We definitely recommend this house.
