Richard's place was great! The location was great. It's in the residential area of Pacific Beach but close to restaurants and shops AND the beach. It was clean with every thing we needed. Richard was also communicative. He sent us a note saying repair men were going to be working on the roof "just as an fyi ". There is also a great breakfast place 1 1/2 blocks away. The Fig Tree. We ate breakfast there 3 days in a row. I also liked that it is a 2 story place giving plenty of privacy. There were also plenty of beach items to borrow. Not sure when we will be back in SD but Richard's place will definitely be first on the list to stay.
