Marianne was a wonderful host. When I arrived, I had just been driving for 15 hours. She saw I was tired, showed me to my room and the shower, and then made me a cup of camomile tea. I really appreciated that.
The room was great. Close to several buses, so I did a lot of exploring. It's not far from some wonderful nightlife in North Park, and there's a ton of nifty coffee shops and music venues around the corner in normal heights. And Marianne knows about all of these! One of my favourite days there was complied of her suggestions.
If I'm back in San Diego, I would happily stay with her again.
