Troy's place is a gem. I was in town for a short stay and had to do a lot of running around to different parts of San Diego while I was there. It seems that Troy's place is roughly 20-30 minutes from literally anywhere in the city -- so the location was perfect. The casita itself is small but charming -- perfect for a solo traveller. The garden and patio off the back are beautiful and you'll wake to the sounds of bird song from the little brown jobs feeding just outside your back door. The neighborhood is safe and quiet with plenty of parking. Don't plan to cook for yourself here, though, as it's just an microwave -- that's not a bad thing, though, because you have access to lots of good food in the neighborhood. I'd definitely stay here again. Thanks, Troy!
