Staying at Bob and Franni's place was the highlight of my three-month internship in San Diego. They are kind, welcoming, and friendly hosts from the beginning until the end. Before I moved to San Diego, they were very responsive to my questions about transportation and logistics. I got in late around 8 pm, and they welcomed me with a cold glass of beer and a warm dinner. During my stay, I really felt like I had a second family in San Diego. Bob and Franni hosted barbeques on the weekends and generously included me. The are also very knowledgeable about hiking and exploring San Diego, which helped me and my friends get around town. Thanks to them, I got to know that going on a beach hike on a low-tide is a thing in San Diego (which by the way was amazing). On the last day, I had some transportation issues regarding an exam I had to take a couple of hours before my flight. Bob and Franni helped me coordinate transportation, and I was able to take the exam and get to the airport on time, thanks to the kindness of the two of them.
While it's definitely the amazing people that makes this place unique, the place itself is a gem. Even on the weekends that I had to stay in for work, the ocean view from their beautiful garden made my working day feel like a stay-cation. The location is really easy to get to places. My work was in Downtown, and I didn't have a car in San Diego. Express bus 50 runs to and from Downtown during the weekdays so I had no problem commuting. With Lyft, I was able to get to places cheaper than owning/leasing a car.
I would 10/10 recommend Bob and Franni's place. You're in luck if you get to stay with them!
