In true procrastinator style, my partner and I hit the road for San Diego without any solidified plans. We soon discovered that not only were most of the hotels booked for Valentine's Day, but they also raised their prices significantly. We had been meaning to try Airbnb for awhile (I've actually been a member since 2012, but never actually booked a stay until this past weekend), and now it seemed we had no other choice. Eric and Julika saved us!

The house is nice, with beautiful landscaping and a great porch with a view of a small, lush canyon. The room was quaint and clean (though the bed was a tad hard for our liking). It has a private entrance from the back porch, a private bathroom, its own balcony space, and plenty of on-street parking. We heard the little ones upstairs running around a few times, but it didn't bother us in the least. Julika let us in the space and then left us to ourselves, checking in on us the day before we left.

Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend Eric's place! Mission Hills is a cute neighborhood with nice views of the city and plenty of places to eat and drink.
