Carol went out of her way many times to ensure that my stay was enjoyable. This was my first trip to San Diego, and Carol helped me get oriented. She recommended wonderful restaurants and even gave me a ride to one. She also saved my hide by printing a document that I badly needed for the conference I was attending. Her house is every bit as beautiful and inviting as the pictures make it look (the view from the deck!) and Carol herself is a fantastic host: warm, funny, respectful, and engaging.
