"This is a very nice and comfortable house. It is centrally located and close to Del Mar, shops and restaurants, and the beach. The check in process was seamless, the house is very clean, the beds are comfortable and the pool and hot tub are great. The only drawback is that it sits on a very busy road and during peak hours there is traffic noise in the backyard and in the upstairs bedrooms."
