Interesting space, kind of a cottage/cabin feel. We saw Lara a couple times and she was very friendly and nice. Her dog is also super friendly and adorable. Outdoor patio area is very nice. Parking on street was a little bit crowded but we were always able to find it, just maybe had to park a little ways down the road.
Being an interesting space, there were a few quirks - we couldn't get the main door to the unit to lock, so had to leave it unlocked our first night there since we arrived late, which we didn't really like. I told Lara about it the next morning and she got someone there that day to fix it enough so we could lock it. Once the door opens and closes better and consistently locks, it will be great!
The door to the bathroom also doesn't seal really well, so you can kind of hear everything going on in there...can't see in it, but could potentially be a little awkward if you aren't close with the person you are staying with! Kind of goes with the cabin vibe.
There were lots of pillows for us, and also plates, bowls, mugs, silverware, and a small fridge, toaster and microwave, so that is helpful so you don't have to go out to eat for everything. I think there was a hot plate too, although we didn't use that.
It was an easy drive to get to the San Diego zoo from here.
