My family of three (2 adults and a 3-year-old) stayed in this place for 3 months during the pandemic. Our favorite aspect of the home is its location; Groceries, the best coffee in San Diego, great restaurants, and a playground are all within walking distance. The house is also centrally located for driving to Balboa Park and beaches. Even with bars 2 blocks away, the house is very quiet and private. We were never disturbed by outside noise throughout our stay.
The layout of the home worked for our family in terms of cooking, hanging out and sleeping. The Master bedroom is charming with the window seat and stain-glass windows and the bed is comfortable as well. The big sofa in the family room is very comfortable (so much so that we want to buy a sofa just like it). We were also pleased to have a bathtub for toddler bath time.
As other reviewer’s have mentioned, the yard is an especially pleasant place to hang out. Our son could even be on his own in the yard for the most part because the only escape route is through the gate leading to the alley (which we could monitor or otherwise block).
The only complaint we have about the house is it is not ideal for working remotely. The kitchen table is not very big and while the sofa is great for lounging, it is not great for working on a laptop all day. Occasionally, the Wi-Fi would stop working and Claudia would have to reset it (She was always very fast to respond…), which was inconvenient when we were trying to do work.
