Joseph’s home is an absolute gem and our stay could not have been more perfect. From the moment you walk up the steps, there is a variety of flowers and trees that adorn this oasis. The interior space is beautiful as shown in the photos, but even more magnificent when you see the soaring ceilings and bold colors in person. Joseph’s home has an intriguing collection of books and art, but our favorite part was the outdoor space. We could enjoy the view of the city lights, decompress during a lunch break in the sun, or immerse ourselves in the sweet sounds of the local songbirds. We especially loved picking lemons from the tree to make lemonade or accent our meals.
Joseph was an excellent, responsive and flexible host. He responded quickly to any questions. His home was extremely well-stocked from coffee to toiletries. Having a washer/dryer on site was very convenient. Joseph provided local recommendations in his guide. We tried several of them and loved them all. Our favorite was Farmer’s Bottega, which is within walking distance up the hill or a short drive. We also loved Lucha Libre Taco Shop and Gelato Vero Caffe (amazing spumoni!). Both are just down the hill along India Street.
The location was convenient to downtown, the airport, Mission Bay and La Jolla (among others). We really loved being able to walk to the trolley and were in downtown after just a few stops. It really saved the hassle of finding parking in downtown.
For those working remotely, we found the layout to be perfect for two people working remotely for a week+ with no noise issues between rooms while we were both on calls. The WiFi included a main network as well as an extender.
Overall, this is one of our favorite Airbnbs and we hope to return one day! Thank you for making it such a perfect stay, Joseph!
