Russell was my 'first' and he was great. I understand now why he is a 'Super' Host. For 50 years I had only ever done it one way, the same way, over and over. I was very connected to my 'points', 'programs', 'status'. I had heard about this "new way", this new method of travel. I decided to 'break free' from it all jumping in with both feet on a business trip, and I am glad to have done it first with Russell.

Russell welcomed me to his home with a smile and a comfort that immediately made me feel welcome. The bedroom, the most important room to me, was nice. The house was mine to roam. It was comfortable and uncomplicated. His cute little dog is easy and quite well mannered.

For 5 days I didn't see Russell all that much because my work had me leaving early and coming home late. For all that, it was easy.

I definitely recommend Russell's home for your next visit to San Diego.
