I stayed here for 3 nights when working in San Diego one week. The dog is very friendly and will not go upstairs to your room. Barks just a bit when you get there (naturally) but was very quiet during my stay, as were the hosts. I hardly knew they were there. The room is very nice with a memory foam mattress and TV with a Roku box. (I was able to catch up on some of my Netflix series) The private bath is right next to the room and there is a lock on the room door for security. All in all a wonderful stay.
