Phil is an excellent host: he is quick to respond and is very polite. The place is astonishing: sparkling clean, provides everything you may need whether you stay for a night, a week or a month. Grocery store is within walking distance, 20 - 25 mins drive to major beaches (Del Mar or La Jolla); nearby restaurant scene is developing, but there is an abundance of great food in 10 mins drive. Highly recommend!
