Staying at Brian's place was great. We arrived a bit later than we intended but Brian was great at communicating with us so there were no problems. His house is in a quiet yet convenient neighborhood and it's quite comfortable. You'll have a lot of space in and out to enjoy, if the lure of san diego isn't pulling you out the door upon waking. :) My friend was especially happy with our stay at Brian's, as he's not much of a hotel room fan. Staying in a home suits him much better and while it was a new experience for me (I'm a hotel girl), it was great. Cozy and clean bedroom, big room for relaxing/yoga/exercise, great kitchen with all needed to cook up a meal (like breakfast, which we did with some stuff we picked up near by). We enjoyed the netflix at night and my friend utilized Brian's wifi. We'd have loved to try out the jacuzi but it was a bit chilly and we weren't there for too long. Brian is a friendly and helpful host, providing a great place to stay and even leaving us with local info (which helped a bunch since my phone's gps is...confused sometimes) to aid in our exploration of the area. You'll sleep well at Brian's and enjoy your non-sleeping time there, if you choose to linger around the house. Highly recommended!
