Where do I even start?! Shane is the absolute best. Her and her husband were so thoughtful, making my home away from home so homey (lol) and welcoming for me and my two dogs. I would 100% recommend staying here for business, vaca, family time. She had literally everything you could have needed, dog toys for my dogs, washer/dryer. Thank you SO much for allowing me to stay here while I found my footing in the beautiful Sunny San Diego.
