Thomas and his home were absolutely lovely! The back deck looked out to the canyon in the back, very quiet and peaceful. I loved the nature influence. Unfortunately it rained in the mornings when I was there, but there was a lower deck that was covered that I could enjoy. The home was very clean and pleasant. Thomas was a wonderful host, he loaned me a raincoat and umbrella so I could still walk around San Diego, which saved carless me (the location is in a residential neighborhood, but easily walkable to Trader Joe's and yoga studios within 30-45 minutes if one likes walking a lot) and he invited me to dinner with him and his friends, but unfortunately that night I was really tired, so I passed on that fun outing.
