Don's place is a great value. It is definitely affordable and he does his best to ensure that you have a good time during your stay. He'd ask us daily what our plans were and then always offer extra suggestions of things to do associated with our plan or things to avoid. His home is very clean and always smells great (cooking and otherwise). The private room has a bed, two nightstands, a desk, and a great closet with a hamper and hangers. This could be seen as a positive or negative, but the room does not have any windows. This means it is incredibly dark and great for sleep, but I tend to like having some natural light. The bathroom is shared with renters, but sharing never seemed to be an inconvenience for us.
Only one thing was an inconvenience at times. Don has renters that he has met through AirBnB. Since the private room shared two walls with those renters, there were times when we were annoyed with the noise level. That being said, we were a couple and since we also shared walls, we may have been an annoyance to them, although we tried to be respectful.
Don was a great host and given the opportunity to come back to San Diego, we would definitely look him up again. His place is such a great value that the little things we mentioned don't change our mind about the place as a whole. Thanks for a great stay, Don!
