The Hillcrest home was absolutely lovely. Liz and Sam were the perfect hosts. The home was sunny and immaculate and stocked with everything we needed for a 7 day stay. The full sized washer and dryer were a life saver. Liz labeled everything so that we could find and operate everything including the remote controls. She even left reading glasses on the desk with note paper and pens. The home was about half mile to Balboa tennis club and easy walking distance to restaurants and Whole Foods. The garage was very handy. It was stocked with beach towels, beach chairs, and even water jugs to rinse after a day at the beach. I would definitely love to return every time I am in San Diego.
