We loved staying at Melinda's place! She messaged me a couple times during our visit to make sure everything was going smoothly, which it did, because the room has everything you need and more. I really appreciated being able to make coffee every morning, and even have a bowl of oatmeal or cereal if I wanted. One evening my husband and I ordered pizza from a restaurant pamphlet that she left in the room, and it was delicious! We felt safe in the house/neighborhood and were happy to have a comfortable place to come back to each night. I took a star off location because there aren't a lot of restaurants or stores immediately outside the neighborhood, but there are some little shopping centers in close driving distance nearby. It's convenient to the highway, and all the touristy things San Diego has to offer are only about 15 minutes away. I gave all the other categories 5 stars. We would definitely stay again!
