A great place to stay for a weekend or a month! We enjoyed the beautiful neighborhood (great for walking or biking), and the quiet street. Mission Hills is easily accessible to most of the attractions in San Diego and the local neighborhood has everything you need for everyday living--groceries, pharmacies, a variety of excellent restaurants. We appreciated the nearby Trader Joe's, since we have to travel 60 miles to reach our nearest one. We were there in January and the weather was great. We followed the sun from the front porch for coffee to the back patio for wine and cheese. A wonderful break from the midwest winter. Alan was a great host, readily available by phone when we had questions about the house or the neighborhood.
