Tom is a great host. He is very accommodating, responsive, and attentive. I'm sure if you need anything, Tom would make it happen for you. We stayed there for five weeks with our two cats. We loved it. It is in a very convenient location - 8 mins to Little Italy, 5 min to Balboa Park, pretty much in 10 mins you can be in any neighborhood in San Diego. It's a perfect location for exploring the city.
