The host was incredibly responsive. Our flight arrived early into San Diego, and Mario accommodated us by allowing us to check in a few hours early, which was incredibly kind. The house was quite nice (especially the back yard) and very clean. The location is quite convenient as it is right in downtown San Diego. The only slightly negative aspect was that the neighborhood has quite a few homeless individuals. However, I don't think you can avoid this when you are in a downtown metropolitan area. Overall, I would certainly recommend this place for anyone staying near downtown.
