Eric was a great host, and he and Nika seemed to always be working and cleaning. Eric was quick to respond to any question or need that arose. This is a big, beautiful house with 8 guest rooms. There is a lot of information to cover when you arrive, because the house is so much more than a room. I was in the Cream room, which had a private bathroom sort of behind its own wall. Not behind a door, but still reasonably private if you are sharing the room. The bed was outstanding and comfortable. I found my room nice and clean. It is not silent because the planes fly over so close you can touch them, but they never kept me awake. There are two separate double pane windows, in layers, so it really quiets down when you close them. The house was fully booked but I only met a few of the other guests. I also couldn't really hear the other guests when I was in my room. During my two days I rode one of the bikes to the waterfront. I cooked a dinner one night; part in the kitchen and part on the grill. One morning I walked to Little Italy for espresso, and it only took about ten minutes. I saw a lot of restaurants down there for next trip. The inner garden patio is peaceful, and there is also a garden that extends around the outside and the front of the house, where I enjoyed the porch rocking chairs and listening to the waterfall (with the occasional jet roar).

Bottom line is the next time I visit San Diego I will be adjusting my plans based on the availability of this downtown gem.
