Great Location in San Diego

We really enjoyed our stay in Canyon View! We were here w our 2 grandchildren and we loved being close to the zoo, the beach and walking to shopping & restaurants. The house has been lovingly restored and worked well for us. Gabe, the property manager was responsive to our questions. We enjoyed our stay!
