Kathryn's place was perfect for our three day trip to Chula Vista. It was an amazing place to stay with our dog particularly because of the private patio. It was a great deal for a pet-friendly spot in the San Diego area. Being a basement apartment, there was a bit of noise earlier in the morning from our upstairs neighbors, which was totally to be expected given the setting, but worth thinking about if you are a light sleeper/like to sleep in.
