We spent a week here the first week of July. We could see all 4 fireworks shows on the 4th from the front lawn- it was spectacular! Amazing location, restaurant row with fantastic restaurants, frequented by the locals, just 2 blocks from the house. It's close to Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo, and everything else. Grocery stores just a couple of minutes away by car- parking in the driveway is so easy. Big kitchen, washer and dryer, 2 bathrooms give you all the best parts of home. A great hammock in the front, and a back deck that's perfect for relaxing morning, afternoon and night- always with a breeze, make for a true getaway. You do hear the planes and trains, so if you are sensitive to that maybe bring earplugs for sleeping, but the noise was not a problem for us. Comfortable beds, nice sheets and towels. Definitely recommend- perfect for 4 people.
