I was so grateful to have had the opportunity to stay in Shu and Michael's home for five days while attending a conference in San Diego! THE ROOM WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR MY STAY! It was clean with plenty of closet and drawer space to unpack my things. After hours and hours of sitting, listening to the presentations.....and even more sitting in the evenings at the dinners, it was heavenly to come "home" and crawl into bed! The bed was absolutely the MOST COMFIEST you can imagine, with the SOFTEST, breathable cotton sheets! How lovely it was to crawl in and stretch out!
The room has a several options for climate control. There is an overhead fan that has four different settings, an ocillation / fixed fan on the dresser, and a high velocity Vornado air circulator for those folks that run warm. (Pictured in the photo) I turned it on just to see how it worked. It is relatively quiet and really does a great job of circulating the air in the room, without blowing directly on you. I stayed the last week in July. I was comfortable most all of the time with only using the fan on the dresser one evening.
No problem with the shared restroom. In my five day stay, I only saw two other guests in the a.m. as they were packing their cars to leave and I was leaving for my conference. It was as if I had the bathroom to myself during my whole stay! I never heard any other guests coming or going. During my stay it was always quiet!
It is a safe, quiet neighborhood with plenty of free parking on the street. The curbs are continuous radius curbs that go the distance of the street so just be sure to check that your car is clear of the other home's driveways when you park! My trip into San Diego, near the airport took me 20 to 35 minutes, depending on the traffic. You might get there quicker paying for the fast track lanes, but I never in that much of a hurry to use them!
THE BEST THING ABOUT MY STAY ARE THE WONDERFUL HOSTS! SHU AND MICHAEL WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT I HAD EVERYTHING I NEEDED FOR A COMFORTABLE STAY! THEY WERE QUICK TO RESPOND TO ANY CORRESPONDENCE OR QUESTIONS I HAD! I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO STAYING WITH THEM WHENEVER I AM IN THE SAN DIEGO AREA! HOW GRATEFUL I AM TO HAVE FOUND THEIR HOME THAT WAS IN A SAFE AREA, SO CLEAN, AND AFFORDABLE!!! THEY MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO GO TO THE CONVENTION THAT I SO MUCH WANTED TO ATTEND! I AM MOST GRATEFUL TO THEM BOTH!
