Steve is a wonderful host. He has several cats and dogs, who all get along (with each other), are very friendly (with you), and will respect your space (if you want). Steve himself is a polite and quiet man, who will do his best to not interrupt you. He also gives great advice on places to go for food or activities.
The house itself is very cute and clean, and the bathroom is lovely. Fresh towels available, great shower, etc. The bed is more on the soft side, so not very firm. For me, I had some great nights' sleep(s).
The house is exceptionally well located, being 4 minutes from the SD zoo, and 10-15 minutes from the SD convention center (depending on traffic). It is also located right next to an on-ramp to the 163, so you can get going quickly. It is also located near/in the Hill Crest area, which means lots of great restaurants, bars, and a grocery store in easy walking distance.

The only wrinkle in this review is that the parking situation can be difficult. The street is unrestricted, so people park there who have no business being there. Parking spots can be a bit tight, but if your parallel parking skills are rusty, Steve offers to help out with that.

Do yourself a favor; skip the hotels, try to get this home instead. You will not regret it. ;D
