This is a duplex. The host lives in the other unit. The unit is one bedroom, one bath and was clean, as described. Tomio was friendly and helpful, and easy to communicate with. The neighborhood is an older San Diego area, conveniently located near the 163 and 8 freeways. You have to drive out of the neighborhood for restaurants and shopping, but the drive times are easy. If you're looking for a hip San Diego neighborhood, this isn't it. If your looking for convenience this is fine. Parking on the street was no problem, and the house is on a hillside so it gets a cool breeze most of the time.
