Russell was a wonderful host!!! I can't say enough about what a wonderful experience I had staying in Russell's beautiful home. He was incredibly welcoming and such a pleasure to get to know...kind, generous, intelligent and just an amazing person. Russell's home is warm, friendly, ultra comfortable, super clean and beautifully decorated. Honestly, the pictures don't even convey how lovely his home is. Russell also introduced me to his friends...truly wonderful people that I now consider friends. Jeff, Russell's friend, was an absolute joy to spend time with...sweet, friendly, funny, helpful and a true culinary Gucci. He cooked some of the best food I've ever had...way better than any restaurant. Last, I have to mention Russell's dog, Luca. He stole my heart! Luca is the sweetest dog I've ever met. Even if you're not a pet lover, you will fall in love with this sweet, adorable little dog. I wanted to take him with me when I left :)

Russell's home is walking distance and just a short drive to everything wonderful San Diego has to offer. Walk to Balboa Park and to all the awesome shops and restaurants in Hillcrest, Banker's Hill, Mission Hills and Little Italy. And just a 10 minute drive, if that, to the Gaslamp, airport and San Diego bay. A few more minutes and you find yourself at the beach, enjoying the beautiful Pacific Ocean.

Without a doubt, I highly recommend Russell's home to anyone looking for the PERFECT place to stay in San Diego.
