We had a wonderful stay at Katie's! The house is bright and open with plenty of space to spread out (the pictures are accurate). The backyard is a fun and safe place for children to play while adults gather inside to visit. We prepared all but one of our meals "at home" and found the kitchen well equipped. The beds were comfortable and I was amazed at how quiet the neighborhood was (for someone not used to sleeping with windows open). Katie and her family graciously share their belongings (toys, games, beach chairs, exercise equipment), adding to the overall enjoyment of their home. And then there are the fish! My grandchildren enjoyed watching the fish and hoping that the aqua frog would come out of hiding.
As a host, Katie is outstanding. She worked with me ahead of our stay to meet a special request and she responded quickly to resolve a minor glitch we had upon arrival.
The location is convenient to I-5 and most places you want to go (for us the beach and the Zoo).
I recommend a stay at Katie's for families visiting La Jolla / San Diego.
