Renee is the best host! She was so easy to communicate with and I felt so welcome staying in her place. It feels like a separate apartment, while also attached to a home -- so solo travelers can feel both independent and safe. Renee put the sweetest welcome sign in the room, along with some lovely snacks. I rated the location 5 stars because it is 1.5 blocks from the people I flew down to visit. If you are planning to explore greater San Diego and the beaches, it would be best to have a car or Lyft service. There is also a great little community park around the corner if you're traveling with kids. Looking forward to coming back!
