The host, Anthony is a great guy, very friendly and helpful. It was actually a bit reassuring to know he lived in the lot behind, since we were not familiar with the area at all. We met the neighbors across the street as well; everyone seems very nice, and the locals at the Pacific Diner were all very friendly and conversational. It was great to be so close to Point Fermin park, the Korean bell, marine rescue center, fish market and Cabrillo beach--we had plenty to explore, and always felt we could take a break back home whenever needed, even if just to drop things off, so the location was very convenient.
