From the minute I booked our reservation I could tell our stay here was going to be easy. James is the quintessential host - friendly, considerate, and helpful. Where to start? Let's see, there's the fact that the beach is a quick 15 minute drive from the house. Who doesn't love that? There's also the fact that there were fresh cookies waiting for us upon arrival, as well as each day of our stay. There were fresh flowers in every room, wine, and even chocolate, upon request. My friends and I spent one of the nights away from the house as we were scheduled to run a 24 hour race in the desert. We had forgotten to bring a canopy to use at our camp site and were going to buy one, but James had one available for us to use (amazing). After the race, we came back to the house filthy from the trails, delirious from lack of sleep, and starving. No problem. James came into the house and took charge in the kitchen and made sure we were eating and happy within minutes - that's right - our exceptional host had arranged for us a delicious meal of chicken, vegetables, and salad. Incredible!

I've stayed in many Airbnb's around the world and I can say that there are few that are run by someone who so completely understands what it means to be a good host. I highly recommend choosing this house when you are visiting San Diego.
