I will admit, this review may not be completely objective. It is no doubt colored by the fact that we arrived at the Vrbo just as a massive blizzard hit the midwestern home that we had left. The Vrbo was the perfect respite. It was a home away from home for a month in warm, sunny California. The owners thought of everything. I needed a colander for the first night’s dinner and there were several to choose from. The sheets were soft, the sofa comfortable for reading and relaxing, and the terrace just off the living room was the perfect place to have a glass of wine or cup of tea at the end of a busy day.And days were busy. Within a short drive of the home there are 44 wineries, hikes through the mountains with spectacular views, and it wasn’t even that long a drive to the San Diego Zoo. The home is in a nice location, close to many attractions and options. It is in a quiet neighborhood, well lit for evening walks, with welcoming neighbors.We come to California every year for an extended stay because one of our sons lives here with his family. Every year my son talks about moving. This home was amazing and we might just come back here even if they do move away. One warning: we were not aware of the fact that the home is on three levels. If a renter has mobility issues this option might not be the best.
