Tess is the the type of host that AirBnB has always wanted, and one of my most genuine people I've met in a long time. She was responsive to any requests I had, and helpful in the most unexpected ways. I was quite comfortable in her home, in her presence, and with the other house mates! Her home is walking distance to Starbucks, short drive from some fast food places, and smack dab in the middle of San Diego! What more could anyone want! I would strongly recommend this listing for even my friends and family :)
