The backyard is what sold us! I went with 2 other friends and we enjoyed the pool and hot tub every day. The location is less than a 20 min drive from all of the places we went (gas lamp, la Jolla, pacific beach, etc) and that was really nice. Kris also had snacks in the fridge, beach towels, sunscreen, and if we needed anything else he was just a text away. I would highly recommend this airbnb!
