I was in San Diego with my wife and 8 month old daughter and stayed at this house for about a week. I was a little worried about staying here because I know some houses/hotels look great in pictures but don't live up to expectations in real life. This house definitely lived up to the pictures and was very clean and easy to find pretty much right off of the freeway. The house and all of the rooms were very clean and everything looked pretty much brand new. We took advantage of everything in the house especially since we are now traveling with a little one.
The kitchen is well stocked with most cooking utensils and pots and pans you could need, had a dishwasher for constantly cleaning our baby bottles, new looking washer and dryer, and a secure driveway. Al even managed to get us a pack and play for our baby which he definitely didn't have to do. There's also a Walmart like 4 blocks away and probably the best Mexican food I've ever had in my life was super close as well (Las Cuatro Milpas- go early bring cash). My wife also felt very safe in the house and the area which is what I was most worried about. SD has a bit of a homeless problem and I never was bothered by anyone coming up to us or being loud or anything like that. We actually passed a few other bnb's that were just a few streets over from this one and my wife mentioned how glad she was we chose this one instead. It is in the city so there is a bit of normal city noise like sirens and cars driving by but it was not excessive by any means and we all slept just fine.
The few times we asked Al a question he responded very quickly. Also the ad states the back yard is shared with the neighbor which it is and the neighbor was also very nice and helpful the few times I ran into him. Just make sure you hug the fence a bit and leave some walking room in the driveway if you have a car here. Other than that the house was very close to most of the stuff we wanted to see and I-5 is literally right around the corner. If you're considering this place or a hotel once you factor in all of the extras you get here, especially the parking and no resort fees, you are coming out about the same price if not ahead in my opinion. My family is very glad we chose Al's home to stay in and if it's available on our next trip out this way we will definitely be staying here again! We couldn't have picked a better place.
