The house is on top of a hilly area of San Diego. The vistas are beautiful and it's close to downtown (only a few minutes drive to the pier). Never met Betsy. I was greeted by her son, Anders, at the beginning and never saw then again.

The room is small but very homely and very quiet. Like others have said, there is no AC but the breeze from the windows is more than enough. I was there for 2 nights and I barely saw anybody. Privacy was not an issue. Bathroom is right next to the room and is incredibly spacious. Host provided towels and also had travel sized shampoos in the shower to use.

One thing is that the hallways are pitch black at night so you have to be careful returning to your room.
