This home exceeded all of our expectations. It is an older home, but the inside has been completely renovated and modernized. When we arrived, it looked ready for a magazine photo shoot. The rooms were immaculately clean, bright, sun filled, and attractively furnished. The location was convenient for seeing many San Diego sights. And, there were neighborhood restaurants and stores within a few easy walking blocks in a nice, quiet neighborhood.
The kitchen is modern and well equipped. You would have to be renting from Martha Stewart to have a better place to cook. I especially appreciated some of the redundancy—such as multiple full sets of measuring spoons, cups, cutting boards, and frying pans. Everything was well maintained and good quality—no worn out, poor quality pans. New appliances are high quality—6 burner Viking gas cook top, double ovens, and microwave. There were also numerous small electrical appliances, generous supply of glassware and china, and a nice assortment of spices in the pantry.
The bedrooms were very comfortable and the closets were spacious. The bunk beds in the one room were very sturdy, strong metal frame construction. I had no concerns about letting our grandsons ages 11 and 9 use them. WiFi and cable TV worked flawlessly. Washer and dryer were also new and large capacity. Many other small thoughtful touches can also be found—such as beach towels and a small ice chest in one closet.
We enjoyed the options for dining spaces at home—kitchen counter, dining room, high top table in a sun room, and a lovely large outdoor table shaded by a gazebo which we especially enjoyed with the outdoor gas grill in a nicely landscaped yard.
The granny unit is an attached wing of the house and was also recently renovated. Besides supplying another sleeping area, it has a small kitchen area, sitting room with TV and Murphy bed, and a separate bathroom. It can be added to the rental of the main portion of the house to further enlarge an already spacious home.
Some homes may be dressier on the outside, but walking inside this home was like walking inside a treasure chest. It I was our perfect home away from home and throughly loved and enjoyed by everyone in our family. Linda and Brad have set a high bar for other owners.
