Terrific house for a big family vacation. Easy to walk to Old Town, wonderful walkable neighborhood on the hill behind the house. Close to Fashion Valley Mall, an amazing restaurant district, downtown, and Balboa Park.
You can see the airport from the front decks a mile away, but the planes do not go over the house. Between the airport and the house is the commuter rail. We enjoyed the urban sounds that come with the location, but if you need absolute quiet in the master bedrooms, this location is not for you.
The rooms on the lower floors are very quiet.
Ali clearly takes pride in his one-of-a-kind house. He is on top of maintenance and provides tons of towels.
Most floors are vinyl tile that looks like wood (or stone), so you don't have to worry about kids tracking water from the hot tub and pool and ruining the floors.
We spent hours in the gorgeous hot tub and pool, clearly the crown jewels of the property. We'll be back next time the family gathers in San Diego.
