Gernot is a kind and very hospitable host. He was friendly but also very respectful of my privacy. This is important, since the room is part of his apartment and next to his living area and bedroom. The location of his apartment is perfect, with easy access to Mission Beach and Mission Bay. Within two minutes I could go skating on the boardwalk between Belmont Park and Pacific Beach! There are cafes, bars, and restaurants all within walking distance so once I was at Gernot’s place, I didn’t really need my car. Overnight parking was easily available not far from his house.
