I had pretty high expectations for my stay at Steve's place, and I was not disappointed. His home is spacious, comfortable, well-maintained and nicely furnished.
The bedroom I occupied had a comfortable bed and very ample dresser space. I was able to sleep well.
The bathroom for guests is bright, clean and well-supplied with towels.
The kitchen, to which I had full access, is clean, modern and functional. Steve provides plenty of dishes, glasses and silverware. There's also a Keurig machine you can use to make coffee, tea and cocoa. Just outside the kitchen, there's a big glass-topped table. I enjoyed using it to sit and eat, as well as to work on my computer.
The back yard is beautifully maintained. The deck has two tables with chairs, a lovely place to hang out when the weather allows.
The neighborhood is easy to access and centrally located, also close to Balboa Park. The many stores along University Avenue and its side streets are as close as two blocks away. I particularly appreciated being able to buy prepared meals at the nearby Whole Foods and reheat them in Steve’s microwave.
I enjoyed getting to know Steve and found him interesting and easy to talk to; he was committed to making my stay as comfortable as possible, and he succeeded. I would hope to stay in his home again whenever I visit San Diego.
