We had a wonderful couple of nights at Tara's place. Ross was around that weekend to tell us a little bit more about the area and give us some suggestions, which was extremely helpful.
And though the description mentions noise from a flightpath, it's not that intrusive. Our 10 month old baby did not have any trouble sleeping, and the flights stop about 10pm anyway.
The house:
The house is beautifully decorated, well stocked with basic kitchen utensils and condiments as well as with good quality toiletries in the bathroom. So you can freshen up and fix yourself some refreshments straightaway. A big thank you for the two large complimentary bottles of water in the fridge. After a long drive in, it was a very welcome surprise.
The neighbourhood:
The neighbourhood is quiet, the house is baby friendly and though we didn't get the chance to meet Tiffany in person, we were able to have some really lovely conversations with Ross. They both live next door and were kind enough to lend us some of their baby toys.
Getting around:
Ocean Beach is a walk or short drive away and most of San Diego is easily accessible by car as well, nothing more than about 15 minutes away. We cannot recommend this place enough.
I also want to mention the excellent communications, which are so important when you're coming in from so far away. Tara, Ross, Tiffany, thank you for making our stay a pleasant one. We wish you all the best and hope to see you again some day!
