Cheryl is a very welcoming and warm host. The room is a section of the house that you have access to your own bathroom, which was updated, and part of the backyard as you have a sliding door that leads right out. Cheryl has a part of the home on the other side that lets her out to the backyard as well. It's cozy and has two big beds. Cheryl and her mother also stays with you during your stay and are very sweet. It's about 15min from downtown San Diego.
