We have stayed in Edgar's place for the Christmas break and New Year's with little kids. Highly recommend for families: the home is safe (measured by how many things we DIDN'T have to remove), very clean and has pretty much anything you need for a comfortable stay. The neighborhood is a short walk away from the restaurants and local bars, but is still quiet. Literally 2 minutes away from the ocean! Also close to La Jolla and easy access to highway for exploring nearby parks (like Legoland and Sea World).
Edgar was very responsive and flexible, and answered our questions even during the holidays.
