My wife, 2 year old, and I stayed in David and Erin's place for a few weeks while we looked for an apartment in San Diego. David and Erin's place had everthing we needed and was walking distance to a super market and laundromat, so we were set.
As hosts, David and Erin went out of their way to make our visit comfortable. We decided we wanted to make squash soup one night, and we asked if they had an immersion blender, and within a few minutes Erin had one at our door. Also, we needed some items from Amazon and when we mailed them to their home they would magically appear at our doorstep.
All in all it was an ideal place for a family in transition to the San Diego area.
