The location is ideal with local eateries and a local market. The Casita is very clean and cozy. The neighborhood is safe,, and locals are VERY friendly; dogs everywhere. I've stayed at other airbnbs, and this owner really cares about their rental space and their renter's experience. Although the kitchen may seem small; it's packed with almost anything you need to cook. All kitchen supplies are very clean. The space is very nice and the outside patio is nice to have your morning coffee; we did everyday before heading to breakfast. I read about the freeway noise; it's not terrible. Almost anywhere you go around San Diego you're going to hear planes or traffic; you get used to it. We went explore San Diego for our 20th anniversary ( my partner and I), and glad we chose this spot. I recommend this space or their other property; I can only imagine if this space is this nice how one in the woods would be. Book, before it's taken.
