My family stayed at Steve’s place over the Christmas holiday. It was a great experience – the house was exactly as described, the photos reflected reality, and it had any amenity I needed. Beyond just meeting our housing needs, there were several perks that really set this apart from other places I’ve stayed (Airbnb or hotel). After coming home, I felt compelled to remodel my house with the features from the airbnb. Without a doubt, I’d go out and buy a sleep number bed, buy the lights, pillows and sheets that Steve has in this place.
Steve had a Christmas tree set up – a really nice touch we appreciated. On Christmas day someone in the neighborhood was playing Christmas tunes – which was a treat as we had kids who (despite lots of conversations in advance that the trip was going to be the main ‘gift’) still wanted to experience Christmas. The neighborhood was great. We met the neighbor – a very pleasant woman who gifted us with delicious tamales. 
This was my second time in San Diego, and I could easily see myself coming back regularly to visit. While we probably won’t stay in a place this large again (an 8 person both-sides-of-the-family vacation was a nice idea… likely not to be repeated)  - if/when Steve has a smaller unit available we’d stay there sight unseen. Steve was pleasant, came by early to meet us, and was very responsive to questions as they arose. All in all, a great experience, a great location, and a great house! We can’t wait to return!
