Ricardo was an excellent host. It's easy to get in, and easy to get out. Staying at any of Ricardo's properties feels like having a private place to yourself. The decor is modern, and very nicely remodeled. The Villa feels like a part of a quiet little community, in a perfect spot to go out and have dinner, yet, sitting in the front yard, you are surrounded by trees and feel like you are on your own. For the money, the Villa is a great way to do San Diego in a day or several, and being so close to the park and the canyons makes for some fantastic walking in the evenings.
We travel a lot and highly recommend this place. Ricardo is also very reliable and easy to work with.
