Steve was a really friendly host! He reached out early and was in constant communications about our and his plans. The house is in a great location, with a plethora of restaurants nearby on 5th Avenue, and its a short walk away from Balboa park. It's also right between downtown and tourist destinations to the north of San Diego, like La Jolla, Sea world and Point Loma. Steve has 2 dogs and 2 cats. The smaller dog barked at us before we entered until Steve greeted us, but was really friendly and playful after that. He occasionally barks a bit. The room itself is nicely decorated, but its is on the smaller side. The bathroom was really clean and was well equipped.
