Richard is a great host. He is very friendly and helpful. The Communication was easy and he always responded very fast. Richard was much fun to hang out with, made an awesome steak on the grill and a beer can chicken for dinner. The room and bathroom are great and very clean. The balcony overlooking the beach was really large. There are lots of pubs, restaurants, and grocery stores in the neighborhood. Mission beach is a great place to stay in San Diego. Overall, a great experience at Richard's place. I can only recommend it and will certainly stay there again when I am back in San Diego.
