Fantastic Home in an Amazing Location

We were more than impressed with the home. It worked tremendouy well for our family. The home was clean and well updated both in form and function. It is very impressive home in a small package. The host was responsive to a couple questions we had and even gave us a great recomendation for a vendo to rent a crib for our little one so we didnt have to travel with a pack-n-play. The home is located in Ocean Beach, an amazing community, and it is only steps away from the beach and the amazing town center which is full of shops and resturants. We were also only minutes from Mission Beach, Sea World, the San Diego Zoo and Midway. The proximity to the airport made for an easy commute as well. We will do out best to stay here again if it is available next time we visit. My only concern will be planning far enough in advance to make sure it isnt booked because once more people find out about this place it will become hard to find availability.
