The window of our room opens to the front yard along the quiet little street, a view both me and my son liked. Lisa was extremely accommodating to our arrival time. At that day Sea World was closed only at 9 pm and it was really hard to pull my son away from there, so I had to text her multiple times to postpone our arrival. Each time we got warm reply from her. Eventually we showed up at about 9:30, and I could tell that Lisa waited right behind the door. She greeted us immediately when we stepped at her doorway.
We had a lot of privacy at her home, and unrestrained access to the kitchen. There are certain time slots in the morning for the bathroom to be saved for her family, but to me those are understandable and nicely notified.
Drive to Balboa Park and Sea World is about 9-10 miles, and the traffic was so good. There are many places of dining and shopping along the way. Generally speaking, I was amazed by Lisa's hosting! I thought I bumped into Jimmy once and both of us were cordially greeted. Will definitely come back if traveling to San Diego next time.
