John's place is great. There was a mix-up initially with the room, so he was going to let me use his master bedroom for the 2 days until it was resolved, but even after resolution, he let me stay in his master for the rest of the month. I felt very welcome and he always encouraged me to feel at home and use whatever I needed. The space is great, everything that you would need is present, and the rental is in a really convenient area in Hillcrest. John also went out of his way to give me advice on places to go and things to do while in SD. Likewise, he gave me tickets to an event going on in Balboa the first day I was there and offered me tickets to other events on other occasions as well. I was fairly busy during my stay, so I didn't get to take him up on many of his offers, but undoubtedly anyone going to SD for vacation or knowing that they will have extra time to explore will be in great hands with John as their host.
