This property offers easy freeway access for getting around San Diego in all directions while being in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. We were welcomed into the home with a personalized chalkboard greeting sign, snacks, and cheery Christmas decorations including a beautiful Christmas tree as well as a tour of the property by neighbor Judi who helps Maggie, the Traveling Writer from time to time. The outdoor space is peaceful and delightful, and the huge yard is an oasis, especially for travelers with dogs. Our dog loved having her own private dog park to explore. Note: we were told that there can be skunks in the area, so we used a leash after dark. The home is a charming, vintage bungalow with lovely original hardwood floors. The retro furnishings from Granny's attic give the home a comfortable 1950's feel along with the diverse and unique collection of kitchen items and a large assortment of the owner's travel memorabilia filling every room with interesting items, books, and decor. Good wifi and TV in all rooms including the bathroom were easy to use. We had plenty of nice towels. The queen bed in the master has a comfy memory foam topper but it makes the bed quite high to climb into for those of us with shorter legs and the comforter looked as though it was sized for a double as it only covered the top of the bed. The duvet insert was flat in places and lumpy in others, but it was warm and cozy. The laundry facility in the garage was great but note that access is either through the back door, down 2 steps and through a gate or out the front door, down 4 steps and down the driveway. This was not a problem for us, but potential guests with any mobility challenges might want to know this. Maggie the host checked in on us via text and seemed easy to reach if we had any problems, which we did not. She even dropped off cookies to the front porch one evening -- so nice! -- and asked us to leave her mail for her to pick up on the front porch bench. Overall, this was a lovely and quaint place to stay.
