Lori's place feels like home. You have everything you need in the house and the location is fantastic. You're 20 minutes from downtown SD. We rented a car for longer drives, and took Uber for trips to downtown SD ($15 each way). Loved being within walking distance to restaurants, bars, sunset cliffs and the beach. Enjoyed the nespresso coffee maker daily. Oh, and make a point of going to the OB farmers market - Wednesday afternoon/evening (4-8, I believe). We had dinner there-THE BEST FOOD from all over the world...East Africa, Turkish, Indian, on and on. Lori has a nice book of info about restaurants, bars, and all kinds of activities, too. Also, her communication was so spot on, we never needed to contact her during our stay! She's a Superhost for sure!
