Richard was an excellent host who went above and beyond by making us feel welcome as well as driving us to the airport, letting us use his bikes, and cooking us dinner one of the nights. Richard also let us borrow his Compass cards, which allowed us easy access to downtown San Diego and Balboa Park for the zoo, as well as providing us recommendations on good restaurants to eat at and cool places to visit. The unit was in a great location, only a few steps from the beach and Belmont Park. It was very clean and was recently painted, which made it feel even nicer. We met a bunch of the locals, who were also very friendly and helpful in offering us advice for our trip. Overall, it was a very relaxing vacation and I would definitely recommend staying with Richard if possible.
