Kathy's home was perfect for our family gathering. Even though I have family who live in San Diego, we wanted a place more suitable for us to all meet. It was nice to have the pool and jacuzzi just down the street to hang out at. The pool is heated, not like a bathtub, but very comfortable to plunge right into.
I've been at a lot of airbnb's that have ill equipped kitchens or just such bare minimums that you can barely make anything. We wanted to cook and hang out so it was nice that Kathy's kitchen had pretty much everything you need...plenty of spices, tea, coffee that are fresh and aren't 200 years old like some places you might go to. I have been a cook in my previous life and it's a pain to bring a bunch of stuff with you to make sure you can just cook basic things. Kathy's kitchen has probably more than most people will need.
She also has enough towels and linens for people which is also something hard to come by in a rental.
The place was incredibly clean and I really appreciated that. It's a quiet neighborhood of duplexes and feels incredibly safe. The Fashion Valley mall which is highly popular is a few minutes away.
Having 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms en suite is ideal. Everyone can have their own space and private bathrooms.
There is nice light in the place and the patio is a wonderful place to sit and look out over the canyon.
Kathy has been really wonderful in getting back to me promptly and making herself available if we had any questions.
My family had a lovely time.
