My husband and I and three other couples stayed at Emily's place for a weekend away!
Straight away, I was attracted to the kitchen! We ended up cooking almost all of our meals at the house and it's a great kitchen to cook for a group! Especially compared to the small houses and apartments that my friends and I all live in at home! We were also big fans of the bench at the dinner table.
The living room are was a little small for our group, but we ended up spending most of our time in the kitchen or out and about so it worked out for us just fine!
We initially had a little trouble finding a house to stay at that could accommodate all 8 of us and stay within our budget and have a bed for everyone (rather than a couch or an air mattress), so this place ended up being a perfect fit!
We also enjoyed playing games in the backyard. It was a little chilly in the evenings or we may have enjoyed our meals out there as well. We brought a bean bag toss set with us and true grass was a great place to play!
We didn't spend any time down at the water in Mission Bay because it was a little too cold for that, but we loved being able to get to anywhere in San Diego fairly quickly. We even ventured down to La Jolla for a cup of coffee!
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and all the accommodations at the house! We had some concerns initially that there would be kids stuff all over the place in our way, but it was all contained mostly in closets and the garage, so if you don't have kids, this place would still be great!
