Great place, and a great, friendly family hosting. They went out of their way to allow us to leave bags there after checkout, to lend us bicycles for our time there, to provide local recommendations, and to invite us to socialize with them if we wanted. If you're looking to meet and socialize with great local people (and their friendly dogs!) in addition to staying at a nice place, you'll be very happy here. That said, I'm a little more private than maybe some others, and the guest house felt a bit less private than I expected. The outside area is very much shared and as a result I didn't feel super comfortable using the hot tub in a shared space. There is also a narrow-ish glass pane in the guest house door that did not have a shutter or curtain, and which allows allows seeing into the bed space. Despite these minor concerns, overall I really enjoyed the stay and thought it was a great base of operations to be close to everything San Diego has to offer.
