You will feel right at home at Ala's place. He is a warm, considerate and hospitable host. His home is peaceful, and kept VERY clean, and trust me, I have VERY high standards.
One of the best features of the house is the backyard area- the perfect place to enjoy the San Diego sun, with an expansive view, plenty of room to stretch, exercise, hang out on the hammock, or a nice enclosed patio area to work or relax; it feels like your own private park.
The location is RIGHT in the center of San Diego; it's about 15-20 minutes to just about anywhere in the city area, so there's the convenience of the city yet quiet and a feeling of spaciousness and privacy.
I would also recommend this place for an extended stay, it's that homey and comfortable.
Ala is one of my new favorite Airbnb hosts!
