We had an enjoyable stay in San Diego. Mario (the owner) was very quick with communication which made it really easy to get answers to questions that we had throughout our stay here. The place is a duplex, which means it's not one big unit. It's 2 separate units. It accommodated every single one of us 16 persons with a comfortable place to sleep. However, large groups of 6 or more will not fit comfortably in the living room for games etc. The backyard was a good size, but we couldn't really utilize both even with the gate open, as it didn't increase the size any. The place has been remodeled recently and is clean and well done. However, I do think the Windows can use an upgrade. Dual pane for sound proofing, but at least to fix the cracks and crevices that let the flies/mosquitos in at times.
The house is located in downtown. So be aware that there will be homeless persons roaming about. Thankfully we didn't have any issues with them, but they can make some people uncomfortable. Downtown always has problems with parking, this place does not have any designated parking for your vehicles. It took us some time every time we left the place to find parking on the same street of the house. We needed to monitor and wait for someone to leave before we can park our car in front of the units.
Overall, it was a convenient, and affordable location for our family. Very comfortable that it is within walking distance of many good food places to eat in gas lamp. Also a quick drive to good beaches nearby.
