Although the outside appearance was a little disappointing to begin with, the inside was great! The house was very clean, neat, nicely furnished and comfortable. The beds were great, the appliances were excellent, and the furniture seemed like new. The location is excellent with almost everything within 15 or 20 minutes away by car: the zoo, Balboa Park, downtown, the airport, Mission Bay beaches, Mt. Soledad, La Jolla, etc. It's really convenient to a great bike path around Mission Bay with incredible views. Lots of excellent restaurants within a short drive away. It made for a fun and relaxing stay!
