The location was everything. Just far enough from the shore and all restaurants and bars but still close enough to be a part of the action. Short uber drives to La Jolla, OB and downtown. We had everything we needed in the house to enjoy our entire trip. It was so nice relaxing on the patio and the neighbor was very friendly. He even hung out with us and gave us a lot of suggestions for things to do around town. Can't wait to come back
