I definitely recommend staying here if you are planning a trip to SD. Thomas is very kind and hospitable. His house is gorgeous and I fell in love with the backyard view and decks. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful which made me and my boyfriend feel very safe. He provided great quality organic soaps and shampoo/conditioner, tea with honey from his honeybees, and easily accessible cold filtered water. He gave us helpful tips before going out to explore. We were able to bike it to Hillcrest and Balboa Park. It was also a short drive to Coronado and Gaslamp district.
