We really enjoyed staying at Russell's place. The location was great, everything was as advertised, and he was a gracious and helpful host.
Pacific Beach is really central to a lot in San Diego and it was nice to be able to walk to things right in town. It was about 10-15 min to UCSD, where our daughter was, and about 15 min to downtown.
Russell's place was well equipped, especially the kitchen, where we cooked a number of meals. Lots of movie options on the TV. Private parking and a nice outdoor table.
We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
