It's an older house but, remodeled well with most modern convivences. The neighborhood seemed safe and clean, I would live there. There is a growing homeless issue in San Diego like many large California cities but, the encampments are at least 1 to 2 miles away and like I said earlier I never felt uncomfortable in any way in or near the house. Wendy and Joam were very responsive with any questions I had. We were in town for a wedding and we had some last minute changes in the itinerary and they were very accommodating to the changes. Next time I'm in San Diego I will definitely look to see if the house is available.
