Christina's place has perfect access to the water/beach (literally just a couple houses away!), also reasonably close to downtown San Diego and main highways to get up and down the coast. The place itself is simple, has the start of a nice kitchen, has A/C that cools the house quickly, but unfortunately we found the house a little hard for our family of 5 to get comfortable in and really want to spend time in. Some of the amenities weren't enjoyable to use (plastic dishes, broken kitchen sink faucet, half the gas stove didn't light, dirty/aging washer/dryer that made our clothes stink). Sort of felt more like a college apartment than a nice condo.
Also, the street parking is a real pain, (especially after getting back to the house late with tired kids). Multiple times had to drop the family off at the house then drive several blocks away to find an open parking spot. It's also a headache having to monitor the street sweeping schedule to figure out when it's not ok to park in certain places.
I think if Christina could improve and clean some things (garage could use a real deep cleaning) and also make her garage available for parking, it would be a much more enjoyable place to stay.
