Al was really friendly and very accommodating! He responded to messages super fast. The space was very relaxing, we had a pleasant stay. We loved that everything was super close by, a 15 minute drive to downtown, la jolla, balboa park and most restaurants! The only thing that was a little irking was the daddy long leg spiders we would see in the home, but that's because I am very afraid of them. Other than that, Al's guest house was very clean! There were also little amenities that made for a nice stay. The ambience was peaceful with a great view. I definitely recommend Al's home!
