My expectations were met and then some staying at Paulo's house. This is a very tidy and well kempt location that served to be the perfect home base for our weekend getaway. I was skeptical about staying at a place where the owner was living on site, but it never felt like we were sharing the space as Paulo does an excellent job of staying out of your way. All the amenities listed on the posting were available for use and there were no surprises during our stay. This is a great find in San Diego and I recommend you stay at Paulo's house when you need to get away.
