Hands down one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at!
The room is massive and has its own private bathroom with lots of storage and space. It comes complete with everything you would need and more. If you’re missing something, there are many stores just a short drive away. The whole house has a delightful Spanish theme and Kim is generous enough to share every bit of it. I spent a lot of time cooking, watching tv in the common room, lounging in the living room and sitting in the patio. Kim does a phenomenal job of making the place feel like a home to anyone who comes.
I booked this place as a guest but definitely left with a new friend. If you enjoy cooking, good conversation and laughs, go ahead and book! I spent many a wonderful evening cooking a good meal and having a good conversation with Kim. On the weekends, Kim showed me around San Diego and had so many recommendations for where to go (every recommendation was on point!). I definitely was missing my wife on this trip but Kim filled the time away with lots for friendship and good times! Ask her about her life! She’s a really cool person and has truly taken advantage of all that life has to offer.
If you’re looking for a little more privacy, Kim is very respectful of boundaries as well. Some days I would be too exhausted from work and she was very respectful of giving me some personal time. I would also call or FaceTime my wife every evening (sometimes for a few hours) and Kim was very polite. During my whole stay, I never felt any pressure from Kim to do anything or be a certain way. If you’re respectful of her, she will most definitely be respectful of you.
The neighborhood is fantastic! It is located in the midst of beautiful canyons and hills with plenty of walks and trails. Super safe and quiet with very friendly families out for a stroll or walking their pets. If you’re going for a stroll, take a walk with Kim and her sweet little dog, Ginger. Trust me, you’ll have a great time! The neighborhood is very accessible to most of San Diego. I was able to get to the coast (La Jolla) in under 20 minutes almost daily and the city proper in even less.
