It was the best experience we have had with a Vrbo stay. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful with check in. The cleanliness was better than any hotel we have ever stayed in. Everything was ready to use from dishes to laundry. If you are looking for a great and safe place to stay in San Diego this is it! I forgot to mention the views! Anywhere you are standing you have a beautiful view of San Diego.
