I stayed with John for 5 weeks as part of my medical elective rotation at UCSD medical center. This was my first time using airbnb.
The room/bathroom were very clean on arrival and it had a feel of a good range hotel room (exactly how it's listed).
John was v helpful throughout my stay. He was always contactable on airbnb/cell phone and would provide near instant replies. He provided me with my own keys which gave me the freedom to enter/leave whenever. He was also really
considerate about being quiet during the day when I was working nights.
The place itself is extremely homely, and that comes down to the host. We didn't see each other that often due to our busy schedules but whenever we did John always had time for a chat. John is v v friendly and he would provide useful insight into places around the local
area (making me into a donut addict!) and also places to visit as a tourist. It was my first time living away from home for an extended period but it felt like this was my new permanent residence.
The area around the house is fantastic - quiet/cozy residential area with loads of shops/restaurants/transport v close by on uni avenue/Washington.
I would highly recommend this place to all airbnb users coming to San Diego. John is THE MAN, and you will not go wrong staying with him.
