We had a wonderful time in San Diego, due in large part to staying at this awesome home. We stayed at Alex's place for four nights and were about 10-15 minutes from everything we wanted to explore: Mission Beach, the art museum, San Diego Zoo, and Old Town San Diego. As parents traveling with two kids (8 months, 6 years old) I had poured over different hotel/resort options before finding this home. It was the best choice for us and a better value for everything it offers. We loved having a larger space (necessary with a baby that still naps frequently), a washer and dryer (SO helpful!), a fun yard, beautiful, well-appointed kitchen, a Youtube-connected television for our kid (which was used sparingly, but still), a super convenient location, proximity to a grocery store, and an easy place from which to order in from nearby restaurants when we just wanted to rest and not worry about dinner. Our daughter declared that she wanted to stay at the home through Christmas, ha! Few other notes. There was a pack-and-play crib available for our use. Great, prompt communication with Alex in case we needed help with anything. He really goes above and beyond as a host. Easy check in/out. Found street parking about half the time, otherwise we used the dedicated parking space off the main road. We also loved Alex's recommendation to check out Tacos La Vecindad—great fish tacos and margaritas. Thanks for everything!
