The home is exactly as described and pictured and is walking distance to restaurants and shops nearby. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything that you would need, and the private patio allows you to soak up the San Diego sun in the winter. For those that need to work, the wifi is super fast. Laurie and Check are great hosts who walk you through with everything you'd need to know without overwhelming you with information, either. The shared hot tub is icing on the cake for the evenings during the San Diego winters. I cannot recommend Laurie's place, enough.
