I'm only a very occasional airbnb user but once again, I am left wondering why I don't do this more often. This has been a great experience - staying in the heart of what must be one of San Diego's most vibrant and cool areas. The array of places to eat, drink and hang out with a coffee is extensive. As are the cute shops. The simply stunning park, museums and zoo are all a short walk away. The house is lovely and full of the most unusual items - a visual treat. John is a BRILLIANT host. He knows every place to go (and everyone in the 'hood it seems!). He is happy to leave you alone, will invite you along or join you for lunch and dinner if your plans coincide.
In summary, there isn't a single negative facet to this stay. A 100% ringing endorsement from Iain!
