The pictures of the inside of the home are very accurate. The front of the home also looks like the pictures but we were unable to see the house number from the curb. The backyard does not look at all like the pictures. I am assuming from California's drought that it is no longer being maintained. There were some issues that made me and my family very uncomfortable: the master bedroom door would not even close; burned out lightbulb in the only closet; nothing in the way of condiments (which have been in other homes that we have stayed in). The biggest concern was that my daughters became locked in the second bedroom (more than once) because the doorknob either came off or became stuck. They did leave a binder on the table with referrals for grocery stores, restaurants, etc for the area. There was also a list of rules regarding noise levels, trash, being clean with towels, using place mats, removing the bedding upon departure. (Is this not what I paid the extra cleaning fee for?) Of course I would treat someone else's home as I would my own but the rules made us feel very unwanted inside the home. The home was very convenient for what we were doing in San Diego but perhaps not the right choice for my size family (2 adults with 4 children). I would recommend this home for couples traveling or families of just one child.
