Mark and Kathy were wonderful hosts. Their place is gorgeous, spacious, and has a nice deck area with a pool. It's also centrally located between la jolla and the beaches, downtown and a 5 minute walk from the bay. Mark and Kathy made us feel at home throughout the stay and also gave us privacy. They met us upon arrival even though we were a few hours early and made us feel welcome right away, giving us a tour of the house and nearby area. Mark and Kathy also took us to the beach and bus terminal upon leaving since we didn't have a car. Overall, it was a great stay :)
