Rick's a 6-star host. Before the trip, I had asked him is his hall could accommodate 4 or 5 participants for a seminar last Sunday. He said yes. Then no long after, he tells me that he found a free training room elsewhere for free! I ended up using that room and it worked perfectly.
Aside from that, he was always prompt to respond to any questions we had, and popped by a couple of times to check on us. He even dropped us off at Old Town for the Cinco de Mayo festival - which we eventually discovered was a bit out of his way.
In short, you won't go wrong by picking Rick as your host in San Diego.
