Hospitality is how I would describe Joel as a host. His home is EXACTLY as pictured and then some! Joel was kind enough to allow early check in due to flight changes with the airline that we were traveling with. He even greeted us upon check-in at the home and provided us with a tour and explanation of how to use the amenities. There is room for outdoor entertainment, as well as numerous restaurants and a selection of grocery stores in the area. Beaches are within a 5-10 minute drive depending on which beach you choose. Downtown San Diego is approximately a 20/25 minute drive.
Joel offered a competitive price for both the home AND car rental, which helped us save on additional fees renting a car from the airport. Prior to our arrival Joel emailed an electronic file of places to see/eat and things to do in the area. We are San Diego natives and were able to experience new places during our visit thanks to Joel's suggestions. Our stay was peaceful and enjoyable. Our guests were extremely happy with the accommodations. We will definitely stay with Joel again.
