Beautiful home and exactly as described and pictured in the photos (carpet had been replaced with pretty hardwood floors, which Kathy told us about beforehand). Kathy was a terrific host and genuinely interested in knowing about us and offering suggestions during our stay in San Diego. However, she didn't bother us at all and only communicated via email when needed. The home was clean and well kept. The patio was quiet and a beautiful place to hang out. I loved all the windows downstairs as they gave a lot of light and made it feel very open. There was a sliding door (with screens) both in the kitchen and living room area that allowed a cool breeze to come through the downstairs. The upstairs rooms were also beautiful. We were in the area to attend an early evening wedding and it was a little hot while getting ready upstairs. However, had I bothered to email, text or call Kathy, I would have learned that there were additional fans in the garage. So, not really our host's fault. The ceiling fan did cool the master bedroom, but we wanted additional fans for the other upstairs room and bathrooms. If we hadn't been getting ready in dresses and suits, the heat probably wouldn't even have been an issue. We were able to park our rental car in the garage easily and there was plenty of guest parking across the way. In addition, my family was flying in to SD early on Friday morning (@7am) and Kathy graciously allowed us to check in immediately, with no extra cost, so we could drop off our luggage and have more time to grocery shop and go sightseeing without worrying about our valuables in the car. Definitely a good experience for my first rental! Thank you, Kathy!
