Debbie's place was even better than we expected, especially with respect to: 1) The neighborhood. Wow - beautiful houses with awesome San Diego foliage/landscaping, so close to the beach (we walked there every night for sunset - first to sunset cliffs, then to the secret beach (Santa Cruz and Bacon), then to Ocean Beach and Dog Beach - where hundreds of dogs were playing in the water, so fun), the view from the porch was awesome (we ate every breakfast and dinner on the porch). We had rented a car and we were minutes from so many wonderful places -Balboa Park (the zoo, Japanese Gardens), Cabrillo National Monument, and very practical, but less thrilling, Ralph's grocery store. 2) How well the house itself was stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and dinner every day; sharp knives (the kind that will easily cut a tomato), a salad spinner, cheese graters, electric kettle, french press, coffee grinder, lots of spices, plenty of dishes, serving dishes, pasta pot, sandwich press, and much much more. Outside of kitchen gadgets, she had beach towels, sunscreen, aloe, games, and who knows what else. The house seemed to have whatever we needed. 3) The beds were very comfortable - somehow both soft and firm. We slept very well. 4) she had everything well labeled and it was very easy to find things in an unfamiliar house. We had a fantastic time, and would definitely stay here again.
