I'm so glad I chose Gustavo's space. 10/10 would stay again. It was exactly what I was looking for. A cozy room in a cozy home with a wonderful host, and a great value!
The room itself was great. There was an extra iPhone charger, a TV, a fan, some basic toiletries, and a very comfortable bed. And on top of letting me know I could use the kitchen to cook, there was a microwave and mini-fridge in the room itself.
And the home was nice as well. There was a full kitchen and a full bathroom. There was no central AC, but in San Diego, as long as you have a fan you're in good shape.
The walk to and from the beach was lovely, and I made it a few times each day. It was about a 15-minute walk through the adorable and fairly quiet Pacific Beach neighborhood. It was also about a 5-minute walk to Trader Joe's and Vons grocery stores.
Gustavo did offer me his parking spot directly in front of his home, but I was easily able to find street parking very close as well.
Gustavo was a kind and welcoming host, and I would definitely book with him again!
Thanks so much Gustavo!
