The casita was very spacious and perfectly located. We never used our car, not even once, during our stay. We walked everywhere - to the beach, to restaurants, and even to Target. The casita was very homey, with many charming, relaxing touches. I saw reviews about having difficulty operating the TV - I dunno, but we just turned it on using the TV remote, and it worked. :) The patio and playroom were bonus spaces where we lounged around. Some neighbors were doing construction at 8am on a Sunday, but it was not a big deal. Expect noise from planes flying to/from SAN but again, not a deal breaker. Overall, 10/10. Thanks for hosting us!
