The house in Normal Heights is a bright, fun space that is conveniently located within walking distance to several good restaurants and bars. Don't miss Blind Lady Ale House for pizza and beer or the Soda Bar for live music... John had thought of everythingto make our stay a treat. We loved the high ceilings, the comfortable beds, privacy, large windows and well laid out kitchen. The house also has a coveted parking spot but we were driving a larger SUV so we used the street parking which was never an issue. We loved how convenient to everything San Diego has to offer the house is - most things were an easy 10-20 drive. We packed in as much as we could - sunset at Kate Sessions park, sailing the bay from Coronado Island (Seaforth Rentals), Temeculah wine tour, LaJolla snorkeling, Torrey Pines hiking, Solana Beach, Pacific Beach, Balboa Park, the Martime Museum of San Diego - this turned out to be really interesting, San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas and not to miss - great view of downtown San Diego from the water for dinner - C Level, great Italian including vegan options - Cesarina, Donna Jeans - vegan in Bankers Hill, Pure Project brewery also in Bankers Hill, Kindred - funky atmosphere with great food and drinks, Kairoa Brewing in University Heights for good food and beer and of course Eppig in Point Loma for beer with a view! The house was a comfortable place to recharge for all our adventures! Thanks so much can't wait to get back!
