Rick Spear is a such a great host! We had such a wonderful time in San Diego because we stayed in Rick's place. The house is in a great central location for walking to North Park stores and restaurants, as well as Balboa Park. It was also accessible for getting around via our rental car since it was close to the highways that could get us where we needed to go for day trips. The property had a quaint and homey style, complete with a peaceful and private garden space in the front yard. The bed was super comfy and there were plenty of blankets for the chilly nights! Rick also provided us with a "Welcome Manual" that had plenty of suggestions on where to go, shop, and eat. He also provided us with a few snacks and water bottles for when we needed a small bite after a long day of exploring. We would HIGHLY recommend staying with Rick because of his thoughtfulness, helpfulness, and ease of communication.
