Gene is a wonderful host. He is thoughtful, full of knowledge and gracious with his time and resources. In particular, he is knowledgable of the city and its various neighborhoods, respects privacy, while still being gracious with his time to make suggestions or engaging small talk. Gene's home also offers a private full bathroom for guests, which is a great amenity. I highly recommend first time visitors to San Diego and repeat visitors alike consider Gene's home as a great option - I know I will!
