We stayed 3 months to enjoy the San Diego winter (however, Mother Nature was not overly cooperative) and really enjoyed our stay. There are several good restaurants within easy walking distance, and grocery stores within an easy 5-10 minute drive. We walked almost daily to the beach or along the bluffs, which are 2-3 blocks from the home. The house is a separate structure behind the main house and is accessed via an alley. There is a dedicated parking spot with a sliding gate, which was much appreciated. There is some noise from the alley in the morning as neighbors go to work or when the garbage trucks run. Otherwise, it is pretty quiet and private. There is a nice, private patio with BBQ grill for sitting outside. The home is nicely furnished, comfortable, clean, and had all the amenities we needed for a long term stay, including washer & dryer on-site. Our host was very responsive to any inquiries or needs. Overall, a very good stay!
