General overview
Stay here and you'll be within 20 minutes of almost everywhere you want to be in San Diego: World Famous San Diego Zoo, Sea World, some of the best beaches in San Diego (Torrey Pines, La Jolla Shores), Balboa Park, Historic Old Town, and downtown San Diego with the stadium, Midway aircraft carrier, museums, etc. In San Diego, we have a big foodie scene, craft beer galore, and plenty of hiking trails and water sports to burn off all those extra calories.
Legoland and the Wild Animal Safari Park are a 45 minute drive away, and Disneyland is a 2 hour drive.
The space
We have a modest, well-lived in, and well-loved 2 bedroom, 2 bath home that is nicely appointed for a relaxing stay. It's a great base for exploring San Diego, and is suitable for a single, couple or small family. Nothing here is childproofed, but well-behaved children and pets are welcome. Enjoy exploring our collection of board games if you need an afternoon or evening off from more active pursuits.
Guest access
Ours is a single story home, with no flights of stairs to navigate. There are one or two steps at each of the doors. The property is not considered wheelchair accessible.
Notes
TELEVISION: We have a 45 inch tv by the living room couch, and it has Netflix. Please be aware there are no tvs in the bedrooms, but my wifi is available in the bedrooms and throughout the house for you to connect and view on your own tablet or other devices. .
CAR: This is southern California and you **really** need to have a car to get around. Please inquire if you need to borrow a car -- I will sometimes have that option available.
PETS: We have had a dog in the house recently so there may be some residual allergens from that, but there are no pets in residence. The back yard is fenced, but a small dog could get through gaps in the gates and should be supervised.

Neighbourhood
Our house is on a quiet street in a modest suburban setting, 20 minutes north of downtown San Diego. We are walking distance (10-15 minute stroll through the neighborhood) from a good-sized shopping center that has a major grocery store, cinemas, a french bakery, Krispy Kreme donuts, Outback Steakhouse, Denny's, Chilis, and several fast food restaurants (Subway, greek, indian, mexican, Coldstone) and 2 Starbucks - all walking distance.
From our house, it's also a pleasant walk to a sushi place (Fish Attack) and burger place/whiskey bar (Boomerangs). We have plentiful options nearby for taco shops, donut shops, subs, and pizza, but those are not walking distance. The Convoy Asian Restaurant District is a 10 minute drive, with a tremendous variety restaurants to explore. You'll find many, many foodie restaurants and craft breweries within a 20 minute drive.
Getting to my home
From the airport, go north on Interstate 5, and exit Balboa Avenue. Google maps will take you straight to our address.
Nearest airport
San Diego International - SAN - is 20 minutes away. Lately it has been around $50 for a cab ride or Uber.
Getting around
Even though we have a number of shops and restaurants within walking distance of the house, you absolutely will want to have a car when visiting San Diego -- whether you stay with us or elsewhere. This part of the world is just made for people to get around by car. Public transit is not a good option to rely on.
We're a 20 minute drive from many, many places that people like to see when visiting the area. That being said, traffic on the interstates can be intense, so allow extra drive time during rush hours.
