We stayed at Tom and Ken's place for a short weekend trip to attend a wedding in Balboa Park. Tom and Ken were incredibly responsive and went above and beyond as hosts. The water heater had suddenly stopped working during our trip, and once we alerted Tom and Ken, the issue was fixed and a new water heater replaced within 3 hrs on a weekend while we were out of the house. The Airbnb also included a lot of thoughtful touches including toiletries and snacks, and the kitchen was very well-stocked.
This place is in a quiet safe neighborhood with plenty of street parking. Probably not ideal if you are planning a trip that involves blasting music or celebrating loudly, as they ask that you respect quiet hours after 9:30pm, but this was perfect for what we needed -- a comfortable place to recharge and a short drive away from multiple points of interest such as the beach, Gaslamp quarter, Hillcrest, Balboa Park, etc.
