We stayed with Chris recently on a short visit to San Diego and found Chris to be a very warm,helpful and caring host. She is extremely organised with helpful tourist and "get-around-town" information (in her in-house manual) and is a wealth of knowledge about the area and great recommendations for local restaurants (which we loved). Chris greeted us with a bottle of wine (it was lovely) and breakfast supplies were available. (Thanks Chris)
Public transportation was easy, close and good in this quiet, safe but charming cafe-lined neighbourhood. Our favourite places included Balboa Park, the zoo, and Old Town which were fairly easy to access. Also the intercity Santa Fe Amtrak station was a short ride away (probably you could do it on the bus too).
In all we would recommend Chris to anyone seeking a "welcome home"experience with a truly delighful host :)
