Ricardo’s home is really comfortable and SO CLEAN. The front porch and lush, shaded green yard were our favorite part. I stayed here with a group of three couples for a quick weekend trip from LA, and this was a great neighborhood - walking distance to Hillcrest and the farmer’s market plus lots of little places for food / exercise / bars, etc. The neighborhood itself is super cute with lots of old craftsman style homes and friendly neighbors.
Ricardo is a really prepared host - he included all the info and suggestions we could ever need, so we really didn’t need to contact him for anything before, during or after our stay. He also made sure we understood that there are only two private bedrooms, so the third couple sleeping situation was different but it worked out, and it was really nice of the host to make sure we were okay with that.
We all highly recommend staying here! Oh, also the dog-friendly part was extremely appreciated :).
