Erika has a lovely cozy place that's very close to downtown San Diego and Balboa Park (about 10 minutes each). It is in a more suburban neighborhood that is secluded. Street parking was easy to find at all times of the day. Erika was very responsive throughout our stay and made the check in process easy and flexible. The room you stay in has a sliding door to the rest of the house, but you get a fair amount of privacy. Everything is clean and welcoming. There is a dog, Lola, and she is very small, doesn't bug you or bark, and is well kept after. It's a shared bathroom and kitchen, both of which Erika has made very welcoming to guests. Overall we had a great stay and appreciated all the hospitality and the tips about San Diego.
