I am not sure if there is such as thing as new home smell like there is with cars...but this is how I felt upon arrival. The home was very clean, well organized, modern & inviting. The hot tub was definitely a plus in helping to unwind as we spent the bulk of our days exploring all that San Diego has to offer. The location is central to all the spots we wanted to visit leaving us to drive no more than 20 minutes to each destination. Larissa was quick to respond and offered a great suggestion for a restaurant on our last evening in the area. I would definitely recommend Larissa & Dave’s place to anyone interested in staying in San Diego.
