We were in San Deigo for the weekend, haven driven from Tucson for a quick last-minute getaway. It was my husband and my 18 yo nephew. We loved it. No worries.
Gary's place is wonderful, even better than in the pics. Very clean and spacious. Well designed. Two lush and very welcoming and comfortable queen bedrooms in good sized, well appointed rooms. A nice-sized bathroom, with organic body shampoo and nice essentials, including enough super white fluffy towels. Shower is nice with good pressure. Window was a plus to let fresh air out.
We loved hanging out as a family in the living room and dining room on the very comfortable couches. Late night we'd enjoy some Netflix. We did scuba and snorkeling, as well as kayaking so midday naps with the sun coming through the big windows were a daily staple. The kitchen is also very well equipped. The AC kept the place the perfect temperature.
The location couldn't be better. It was super easy to find off the highway, yet still tucked away on a quiet street. It's a very nice neighborhood, safe, quiet and relaxing.
On our first day, we walked down to Gaslamp, over to Petco Park and around the Convention Center and over to the Marina after a late dinner. We ended up walking quite a bit, so we took a Lyft back because we needed to get up early for scuba in La Jolla Cove. The Lyft was just $5 full price from where the Midway museum is located. It took just a few minutes to get back. La Jolla is just a 20 minute drive too. All painless and fun to get around from here.
Our hosts were quick to respond to any questions and accommodated us with a late checkout so I could do an important conference call. We really appreciated that. Checkin was also super easy. We enjoyed the flexibility of arriving late, as we were driving and could stop without rushing on the road. We planned this trip on Thursday night so we were lucky to get Gary's place. We needed the break and Gary's place was the perfect getaway.
The wifi had a hiccup, easily fixed by resetting the router. Frank got back to us quickly, even though it was a late hour when we arrived (we wrote to let him know we got in okay, but we're not expecting a response until morning).. FYI: The router is in the middle of the ceiling, clever location.
Everything is very thoughtfully designed for guests.
All the instructions were very clear.
Parking was provided, which made things easy too.
Overall, we loved and will return.
Perfect stay. Thanks Gary and Frank.
