Tara was a lovely host. We were greeted at the door of the house with a sign that said "Welcome Jerry and Lisa". Our room was spacious and airy with a very nice bathroom, and a comfy bed with lots of pillows - very cozy! The house is on a busy street, but we had no trouble getting a good night's sleep, as traffic seemed to die down at night. A generous basket of snacks and quick breakfast items was left in our room for us, and even though there was not a coffee maker in the kitchen, Tara "went the extra mile" and provided a basket for us of coffee, cups, and creamer, along with a very nice coffee maker, to keep in our room (the other house guests seemed to prefer tea)! We enjoyed the short walk over to the "Dog Beach", where people would take their dogs to play in the sand and surf - very pleasant. There were many restaurants and shops within walking distance of Tara's house, and there was a nice Vegetarian Co-op Market close by. There was also easy access to the main highway, to get to all the places we wanted to visit while in San Diego. All in all, we had a very nice stay at Tara's, and would definitely consider staying there again in the future!
