We had a very nice stay in Ali's property. Read the description closely and research the location - we chose this home because of the size - FIVE bedrooms, and the proximity to all the major tourist attractions. The home has plenty of space, and we chose to have the pool heated for extra charge which was totally worth it in April. The kids had a blast! The Jacuzzi is also heated, which is great for the adults. Having a kitchen and washing machine/dry was super handy and necessary for a large family. We had minor maintenance issues, which Ali promptly addressed. As you will see from the location, you are close to the highway and airport. From some of the bedrooms (not all) you can hear the highway, but I didn't hear it with ear plugs. There aren't that many restaurants or stores nearby - but it's super easy to drive or take uber to Gaslamp area or nearby restaurants. It's a 10-15 minute drive to Sea World, Balboa Park, The Zoo, Gaslamp area, and the airport which makes it a super convenient location.

Some FYI (since I wanted to know) the kitchen has a regular coffee maker (bring your own filters and ground coffee), gas stove, microwave, toaster oven and refrigerator/freezer combo. The are dishes, cups, silverware, pots and pans, and dish washing liquid. I'd recommend bringing ziplock bags, tupperware, plastic wrap, and foil if you plan to cook and store leftovers. Bring a cooler bag and ice packs if you want to pack a lunch for the day. There are trash bags and you'll have to take down the trash and recycling. For the bathrooms, there is hand soap and small bar soaps and shampoos. Bring your own lotion, conditioner, sunscreen and personal toiletries. There are enough hand and body towels. Also plenty of laundry detergent if you wish to do laundry. For the pool, we also brought our own toys for the kids. Overall would recommend for families and large groups. Enjoy your trip!
