The home is quite unique: you can clearly tell that the host family has been living in this home for a long time and has been improving it gradually, which gives it a mix of rustic feelings and modern touches. The yard is quite nice for hanging outside, especially in the late afternoon or early evening in a very temperate San Diego weather. The neighborhood is unassuming. The suburban location means you do have to drive wherever you want to go, but all attractions, both North and South, are within 30 minutes of driving, normally much less. Parking is in a spacious driveway (the garage is not accessible, and the street seems to be full most of time). This location is also just under 10 minutes from a Tesla Supercharger (one of only two in San Diego at the time of this review), so that's relatively convenient to get a quick charge if necessary. The host, Jaime, is very responsive, so that's a great plus. Overall, I would recommend the place for families.
