After a long week of working Comic-Con, I took an extended vacation and stayed in Heather and Mike's guest house. It was my first AirBNB experience, and coming from NYC where The Man is trying to spread hate about the service, I was a little worried.

Those worries were unfounded, as I couldn't have hoped for a better first experience. Their unit is located in a quiet suburb away from the craziness of downtown, but is a short walk and shorter bike ride from some great food and nightlife in North Park. The unit was clean, well-maintained and air conditioned. I didn't really use the TV or stove, but there was plenty of fridge space and amenities if you wanted a longer, more home-like stay.

Heather and Mike were super friendly and accommodating, and generally just did their own thing as I did mine. They are also very knowledgable about the area, so if you need some reccos, they may be a big help.

This place is the real deal. Great for a single person or couple, good for two couples and a small family (the nice couch pulls out, which I never checked out, but I'm told it pulls out). Highly recommended!
