Kristen is a really great host! My husband and I stood at her guesthouse and are really grateful to how caring Kristen and her family are. She responded quickly to our messages and check in was super easy. When we got to the guesthouse everything was stocked from shampoo to snacks and beverages! Really nice of her! She also had beach chairs, umbrellas, a cooler bag and towels to use if we wanted. We rented a car to explore different parts of Southern California and Kristen’s guesthouse was within a 15-20 minute drive of many of the places we wanted to visit, like balboa park and the San Diego zoo. The guesthouse itself is right in the back of their main home of course but is very private, has a separate entrance and you have your own deck as well. Kristen truly goes above and beyond for her guest and I would definitely book again! Thank you so much for being an awesome host!
