The place was exactly as described, and Christine had a handy binder that gave directions and suggestions for local spots as well as tourist sites. She provided all the basic amenities and even a bottle of wine! The room was very quaint, while somewhat rustic and was perfect for the two of us. It offered privacy, and was a nice central location to all the sites we planned on visiting while we were in San Diego. We only met the host briefly, but during our short exchange Christine was very friendly and pleasant. I would definitely contact Christine again if I ever come back to San Diego.
