Tom and Ken's place was perfect for our family of four and the grandparents. It was close to the kid-friendly attractions (Old Town, Sea World, Balboa Park and the Zoo) but in a quiet neighborhood. After long days of exploring, we really appreciated coming back to the warm, bright space. Making family meals was easy in the well appointed kitchen and we loved watching the airplanes taking off while sitting at the dining room table. There is a little bit of noise from the airport and the train line close by, but pair of earplugs for the light sleeper should do the trick. There was plenty of space and privacy (two bedrooms being at one end of the home) and even a little carpeted closet that our two six-year olds made into their secret hideout. Tom and Ken are generous and responsive hosts who strive to make your stay the best one!
