Ryder was a responsive, pleasant, accommodating host from the beginning. We had a great week-long stay. The modest bungalow is tastefully furnished, clean and well-equipped. The beds are SUPER comfortable (and we have sensitive backs). We enjoyed the front yard, didn't get to use the grill unfortunately. Did make nice smoothies in the awesome blender. Watched some women's World Cup soccer on the big living room screen.
The location of the house suited us well. We were a block from the beach but on a quiet street. This end of the beach is very family-friendly and an easy stroll/jog/ride to the livelier beachside areas of cafes, eateries, volleyball. Oscar's is so very good. (great recommendations for the area are provided by the gracious hosts)
Unfortunately no bikes anymore at the house, but the bike rental is very close by and reasonably priced. Walked everywhere too but also easy to drive around and get to the north beaches as well as SD proper.
We thank Ryder for helping us have a wonderful first visit to San Diego!
