We appreciated that Annette communicated well and in a timely way and seemed to appreciate knowing when we were arriving. The place is old and we were asked to keep showers short. But the place is kept in good repair and it's obvious that the hosts take pride in keeping thing spotlessly clean and organized. The house and neighborhood was quiet at night, so we got a good night's sleep. The bed is comfy and the linens are of high quality also promoting a good nights rest after our long day of travel and playing in San Diego. When we arrived the hosts were friendly and accomodating. We were able to use the kitchen if we wanted. I could have cooked our breakfast and next stay here, I'll plan on doing that. This time we opted for IHOP. I did use the kitchen to wash out and refill our thermos bottles for the next day's travels. We always look forward to the great fish restaurants in San Diego and the hosts recommended where to find them. Though the place is older and in a middle class area, it is conveniently located for the quick stop we needed as we wanted to be close driving distance to all our favorite places in San Diego, Sea Port Village, Old Town San Diego (Definitely check out the blacksmith museum there! What a hidden treasure!), the Embarcadero, La Jolla Beach and the Encinitas Meditation Gardens. We would definitely stay here again.
