Carl was a great host, very genuine and personable guy and we got on really well. He picked me up from the airport and was kind enough to take me shopping straight after to pick up some groceries and food.

The place is comfortable and in a lovely neighbourhood where people just leave their doors unlocked because it's a quiet and trustworthy place to live with good people.
The house is going through a bit of a makeover so wasn't complete - kitchen and living room being newly done but had everything needed.

About a 10 mins walk to the trolley station which takes you most places in San Diego. Lemon Grove is one stop away with good places to eat.
The San Ysidro outlets are within reach too via trolley transit (about 30mins at most) and this is just unreal for shopping - will take you at least two days to visit all the stores!

Great trip and great host.
