Richard is an amazing host, and his place is incredible. We loved staying right next to the beach, and were lulled to sleep at night by the waves. Richard was so much fun to hang out with, and made a mean beer can chicken for dinner on our last night. We also enjoyed the privacy of having the top floor of the condo to ourselves, and it was great being able to park the rental car in the garage. Mission beach is a great place to stay in San Diego, walking distance to Belmont park, restaurants and bars. If you stay in San Diego you won't find a better place than Richard's.
