Tara welcomed me last minute on Christmas Eve as my flights got cancelled & I was stuck in San Diego for a few days. I couldn't have wished for a better place! Without knowing of it before, Ocean Beach and Tara's place totally matched my style. The house is very welcoming - I smiled at all the thoughtful, sweet details & felt right at home. Except for the street-noise which I knew about from the description, it peaceful & really well located. I enjoyed using the beach bike to cruise up to La Jolla, going for long walks and cooking with groceries from the awesome organic shop right around the corner. If it wasn't holiday season I probably would have tried out the nearby yoga studio as well. My stay was rounded up by the two cats that really liked to cuddle, friendly housemates (we didn't see each other much but the short encounters were really friendly) & interesting books that you can find around the house (and read in the very comfy bed)! Thanks again and all the best
