Traveling from the East Coast, we had a picture of what San Diego would be... while accurate in some respects, it was a bit of culture shock. Mission Beach is a kinetic place - busy road, lots of traffic, lots of people, everyone's playing music... but once we acclimated we loved this place! Katy's house is a rarity - single family homes are hard to find. The kitchen was great (everything you'll need), the rooftop deck was awesome (great night time people watching), and the proximity to the beach is perfect! Parking was a big challenge for us - we had a mini-van and if our drivers weren't skilled, we would have had to resort to a public lot someplace... it was a 5-10 minute ordeal to get into the garage each day. Location wise, the house is great - perfect jumping off point to everything we wanted to see... walking distance to a small store and some great casual restaurants. Katy's communication was also top notch. Thanks for a great stay!
