Molly's place is a fantastic value, and she was such an incredible host! My wife and I were visiting for a week. I worked in San Diego 10 years ago during a summer in college and made many memories I wanted to re-live. Molly's place was fantastic for its centrality to a lot of the things we wanted to see. It's fairly close to everything (by car), and was within walking distance of a number of great restaurants and shopping locations. My wife and I loved how close we were to Trader Joe's (2 blocks) which allowed us to get meals that were easy to prepare back at our room with the microwave, or keep it fresh in the small fridge.
The room was clean, and felt very homey, but also was recently updated so had a more luxurious feel than you sometimes get with AirBNB. Molly thought of all kinds of small things to include in the room--starting with a guidebook she put together for the area, but also included laundry (if needed), plenty of dishes, cleaning supplies, and even had beach towels for us to use. Further, we were welcomed with a hand-written note, a few bottles of water, and some K-cups for the Keurig to get you started. Also, I was surprised how comfortable the bed was! We slept great all week. The linens (as advertised) felt luxurious, and we loved having the fan and the screen door to allow the breeze to move about the room at night. We stayed fairly cool at night even without an AC unit.
The location of the rental was great too! The place is inside of a smaller "plaza" of apartments and rental rooms, so it's a bit more private than if it opened to the street, and additionally there is parking around back in the alley if you have a car. (One word of warning with the parking though--if you don't have a smaller/compact vehicle, you will probably need to park on the street. The space is a bit tricky to navigate.) Many things are in walking distance including two grocery stores (Vons, Trader Joe's), Two pharmacies, restaurants, a laundry mat (which you don't really need), and a Spirits store. You're two blocks of the main drag, Garnett, where you'll find plenty of dining choices. I-5 is only a 5 minute drive away, which will get you to about any other area of the city in 25 minutes or less.
We would highly recommend staying here for an individual or couple looking to get away (or even if you're in town for business for a few days). Thanks for the memories Molly!
