Gernot is a wonderful and masterful host. He has worked in the hospitality business throughout his life and it shows. He makes you feel very comfortable throughout your stay and has some great tips from a true San Diego local perspective. He can let you have your space but is also willing to sit with you over cocktails and talk for hours. He’s very interesting and his parrot Sam is the best! You also cannot beat the location... steps to the beach and bay and a ton of local shops and eateries within walking distance.
