This is an amazing place to stay! It was private despite being in the guest area behind the owners home, we never saw anyone. They are very accommodating and even were thoughtful enough to set out toy water guns for my girls to play with. Very clean and loved all the additional games and activities for my girls at the end of the day. The rental is also very central to all the surrounding theme parks etc (San Diego zoo, sea world, balboa park, etc). Just be cautious if you have a large vehicle, the parking space is in the alley and can be tight to park. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
