Alex's place was great. Perfect central location and a quick drive to all of San Diego's local attractions. Walking distance to restaurants and coffee shops. Great kitchen for cooking and stocked with all the essentials. Off street (gated) parking was perfect for our 4 door Jeep. The air conditioning and house fans were a nice touch during our uncharacteristically muggy August stay. Von's grocery store across the street was very nice with a great selection. Beds were very comfortable and house was well stocked (towels, extra blankets, etc.) for a family of 4. Smart TV with Direct TV and Chromecast (easy streaming from laptop/iPad) was great for night time entertainment. Even though the house is in a dense neighborhood and across the street from a grocery store it was quiet and we didn't have planes flying over our house which seems to be very common in San Diego. Alex was also friendly, quick to respond to any questions and had everything well outlined in his house binder and email prior to arrival.
