From my first communication with Lucia, i knew she is a good host. I'd seen a higher cost on the site and wrote her directly and she charged the reduced cost. Prior to my arrival, i had a busy work week and Lucia kept in touch and asked the purpose of my travel and arrival details. She sent all the relevant information including pics of the walkway and the code for the door as it was a contactless check-in. The place was immaculate. We were awed at its beauty as soon as we opened the door. My mom and i were celebrating our birthday and Lucia is so kind, she had a Happy Birthday sign beside the bed and we were surprised to see a bottle of wine which was a gift to add to our celebration. The place had everything we needed, including lots of free goodies and cofffee. It felt so comfortable and gave us that 'homely' feeling while we are on vacation🙂We couldnt have asked for more. Lucia's effective communication is noteworthy as during our stay she checked on whether we needed anything such as paper towels etc. To add the icing to the cake, Lucia remembered my birthday and was one of the first persons to message me in the morning wishing me a very HBD and treated my mom and i to coffee. I highly recommend staying at Chula Casita and will definitely stay there the next time i visit San Diego. Lucia, thanks again for making my mom and i birthday celebration enjoyable and relaxing by hosting us in your beautiful home. It was very hard for us to leave
