One of the best experiences of our trip was hanging out with Franz and Patti!

Franz is a genuinely good man. Easy-going, flexible, hospitable and generous. On top of letting us use his guidebook, he offered to let us use his truck, lent and transported bicycles for us, and personally showed us some of his favorite spots!

We clicked so well that we ended up spending a lot of fun time together. Long story short, we biked around Coronado, had drinks, delicious ice cream and watched the beautiful sunset at the patio of Hotel Coronado, an impromptu visit to Tijuana, had lobsters and fresh made flour tortilla at Puerto Nuevo and got a good bargain for falsa and serape... Franz even waited a couple of hours for us while we crossed the border to give us a ride back—all in all, we really owe Franz and Patti big time for an unexpected, adventurous trip and, cultural experience.

Franz can easily be the best host in San Diego. We left SD feeling really glad that we had a chance to get to know these awesome people. Our trip got so much better because of them.

Franz and Patti, thank you for such a great experience! We hope to see you in San Francisco very soon.
