I was traveling with a friend and my 1.5 year old and we need a place to stay before heading to a new spot when our other group of friends arrived. We found Bill's place and booked it because it met what we were looking for (one bedroom, one bath with tub, pull out bed and close to everything). We flew in around 1:00PM and were able to check in early (because there was no one there before us). Don't let the outside (first picture) fool you, once you get into the place it's cute and simple.
Place:
When we got to the place it was just like the pictures and the layout works well. The bedroom is a decent size with a small walk in closet. Having the walk in closet was great because I was able to setup my daughters pack and play inside the closet (I have the Guava Family - Lotus Travel Crib in case you want a size reference). The bathroom is located in the bedroom but it worked for us. The living room was a nice size and we spent most of our time hanging out here when we were there. The kitchen was (again) decent size and had everything you need if you're going to cook. The outside has a nice covered sitting setup with tables and a couch.
Amenities:
In the bathroom he has towels very well stocked along with other things you may need (disposable shavers, cotton balls, q-tips, Epson salt (maybe) never opened that jar). Had extra sheets, blankets and pillows for the pullout bed. The Kitchen, now let me tell you... like other reviews had said, he had SO MANY snacks available (I am a big snacker and loved this touch :)) and just coming from the airport was awesome to grab a little something. There is also coffee & maker, teas, a little rice and pasta, pasta sauce, can pasta, oatmeal, seasonings and cooking oils and ziplock bags (if needed).
Host:
Bill definitely is very thoughtful and makes sure his guest have everything they need (see amenities). I was looking for a hot/cold insulated bag and I emailed him to ask if he knew where we could pick one up and the next thing you know he's knocking on the door to give us one! It was so nice and saved us a trip :).
Overall, I would recommended Bill's place to anyone and if we visit San Diego again, I will definitely be looking this place up! Thanks again for being a thoughtful and great host!
