Paul is an excellent host and he was helpful with suggestions. His place is beautifully decorated and very clean. It is a short walk to University Ave and many shops, restaurants and bars. It has a combination lock on door so was easy to check in. The bedroom is on the second floor so you have to climb stairs. The house had a wonderful cross breeze when you open the wondows. I highly recommend Paul's place to stay when you visit Hillcrest in San Diego.
