I booked Nick's place for 8 folks for a get together for my wife's birthday. The place was exactly as described and was spacious enough where 8 adults had no problem staying under one roof. Nick did a great job communicating with me and even provided some helpful local recommendations.
The neighborhood is in a great location with restaurant's, grocery stores and the beach all very walkable. We are not a young crowd (40) so the tranquility of the neighborhood was appreciated, yet at the same time provided enough amenities where we didn't have to get in a car if we didn't want to. That said, you are less than a 15 minute drive to practically anything in San Diego, which we found very convenient.
Overall, I would recommend Nick's place and stay there again.
