What can I say that everyone else hasn't about staying at Richard's? He's a great host who went above and beyond to make us feel right at home. My husband and I had the 2nd floor of the unit with a bedroom, terrace and a large bathroom all to ourselves with complete privacy. Richard does have a computer room upstairs he says he uses for work but we never saw him up there once during our short stay. He really does give his guests privacy. We borrowed his beach cruisers, which we thought was very generous of him to let us borrow and also beach towels, boogie boards and beach chairs. Richard was also very informative regarding restaurants, sites to check out, etc in San Diego. All in all, this place was great! This Mission beach listing is central to everything and best of all a few steps from the beach which we loved. We highly recommend Richard's place. You can't go wrong.
