My comments echo what others have said before. Gene was an absolutely outstanding host! I really appreciate the tours he gave to introduce me to a few of the local neighborhoods in San Diego. I also enjoyed the interesting conversations we had. With regards to his apartment, it was impeccably clean! His apartment is also conveniently located across from a super market and is within minutes of walking to the UCSD Hillcrest medical center and local bars/restaurants. I highly recommend!!
