Rented Bryan's place for a visit to SD with extended family. My comments reiterate those already mentioned: ideal super-walkable location in Hillcrest, beautiful landscaping, room to cook in the big kitchen plus the grill outside. The house is a typical San Diego craftsman bungalow with enough space for us to spread out and still has its traditional character, and is surrounded by gardens that make you forget you're in the middle of the city.
I loved sitting on the porch with a drink watching the butterflies and hummingbirds! I never met Bryan personally however he responded quickly (almost immediately) to all messages and offered advice for places to eat/drink in the neighborhood. And he dropped off some goodies for us to enjoy on our last night in town.
We visiting during Comic-con (purely coincidence as we didn't attend) so prices were elevated everywhere in the city. Despite the crowds we were far enough from activities to not feel any effect (although it was a quick rideshare away if we needed to be there).
