Dan's house is an awesome place to stay if you're visiting San Diego! I definitely recommend staying here, especially if you're looking for dog-friendly places. I felt welcomed from the moment I arrived and they even had a welcome sign on the door with my name and my dog's name on it. My dog had free access of their fenced in yard and their dog Lady is very sweet and didn't mind sharing her space. The house is set-up like a small apartment with a nice little kitchen, living area, bedroom and bathroom. It was very cozy with a homey feel. You do have to drive to the beach, but it's only a 15-20min or so drive. That includes going to the zoo, downtown, or the harbor. It was my first time ever in San Diego and Dan gave me a lot of great recommendations of hikes and places to take my dog. Staying at Dan's place definitely made my trip more enjoyable
