Richard was a fantastic host! I was hesitant as a single female traveler staying in an AirBnB that was not a "whole house" rental. Because of the great reviews Richard had, I took a chance. And there was NO need for concern! I had the whole top floor to myself and never came upstairs when I was in the house. He let me drop off my bags early and leave them after check out time, and offered great suggestions for places to eat and things to do. He even provided bottled water in my room - that was a nice touch. The room and bathroom was clean and the whole house was well kept. The location was superb - literally steps to the beach. The only thing missing - and this is in no way to be taken as a negative- is a TV in the room. But I didn't miss it because I was there to enjoy San Diego, not watch TV :). I had a great stay!
