Richards place was perfect for our two families on our trip to San the Diego area. Firstly, though we never did meet Richard he always responded promptly to any questions that we had. The townhome was spacious and clean and worked out well for our two families.... 4 adults and 3 young kids. The area is safe and quiet. People are very friendly.
The unit came with the basic things that you would expect in a vacation rental property... e.g. Kitchen appliances, cookware, linens, towels etc. To our surprise there were even beach chairs, sand toys for the kids, bikes and surfboards to use as well though we never used them because the weather was not so cooperative. There was a very starter supply of things such as toilet paper, garbage bags, dish soap with we ended up having to purchase ourselves since we were there for a week. Ended up leaving them behind, which we didn't mind, but if you rent this place you could potentially bring some extras so you can save on a shopping trip for these supplies.
Richard's place was only a couple blocks from the beach and a short drive to the busy part of town full of restaurants, bars etc. It was easy to get to the highway which made it accessible to San Diego's main attractions.
Overall, we would have no hesitation renting Richard's place again in the future or recommending it to anyone else.
