Great value and location.
If you want aesthetics in a property, this may not be for you. This is a very lived in home with definite quirks, but nothing that people can't manage.
It has a large amount of amenities, tv, ac, heaters, towels, blankets, pillows, and main basic needs in the kitchen; fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, griddle, gas stove and oven, pots and pans,
rice cooker and lots of plates, bowls, cooking utensils, eating utensils and even platters.
The house was cool during the day, and we only used the AC in the top room. We were there when it was either 78 or 80degrees outside. It did get chilli at night, but there were space heaters available that worked to help heat up the rooms pretty quickly. Also there were plenty of extra blankets available to use as well.
I would check the cupboard to see what leftover items are available to use before shopping cause after buying our own, we noticed there were several spices and new & unused plastic cups and new straws in the cupboard that we could have used. There isn't a separate indoor bin for recycling so you will need to create your own to take to the recycling bin. I recommend driving to Ralphs supermarket for groceries, the sister store is QFC, if you're not from california, remember they pay for plastic bags.
The back deck had easy access to alley walkway which is a direct shot to the beach. It really is less than 5 min walk to beaumont park, where there is a variety of food places and souvenir shops.
The garage is a small 2 door, so small compact or mini suv is best, and preferably with a rear camera.
There is a homeless population around the entire neighborhood, but we never felt unsafe. one of them even informed us of the overnight free parking a couple blocks away.
The washer and dryer is in the garage, and was really convenient to be able to do laundry before checking out.
The rooftop is large, lots of seating and has a great view at night or day. There is no shade, but it's perfect for getting sun. We didn't see any other lighting available to use on rooftop at night, other than the little twinkle lights on the railing, but it was fine for us.
Yehuda was very quick to respond prior to us booking our trip and even during our stay.
It was a perfect fit for our group of 10. Restaurants were not far for take out and easy access to freeway for sightseeing attractions in San Diego downtown. Close to the beach without having to hear the the crowds all the time. Value & location can't be beat.
