Even though I never met Franz and has family, my girlfriend and I had a really enjoyable stay. The room is set up to be private, with it's own entrance, bathroom and even a small kitchen with mivrowave and a camping kit for heating some food.
Everything was nice - Franz' great effort to be a good host (he im'ed us a couple of times to make sure everything was cool), their great tips for the neighbourhood (especially the curry house recommendation was spot on!), the location and the possibility of lending their bikes and do our laundry. And for that price? This is a bargain. It's basically your own, small apartment in Pacific Beach ('course it's not luxury, but that goes without saying, right?)
Wouldn't change a thing! Thanks for a great stay!
