Gene was the best host we have ever had with Air bnb. He made us feel extremely welcome upon our arrival and recommended places to visit and restaurants to try. All of his recommendations were fabulous. He really loves his city, and knows some cool areas to check out that are sort of off the beaten path. His apartment is amazing. It is perfect and is even better in person. It is located in the heart of Hillcrest, walking distance from tons of bars and restaurants. It is also close to the beach and downtown San Diego. Hillcrest is a fabulous little neighborhood with tons to do and a personality all its own. We already miss Gene, and want to go back very soon!
