Gloria and Sean's place was a welcome stress-relief during the five days I stayed in San Diego for an academic conference. Their home is clean, well-stocked (tons of towels, tons of kitchen tools, extra blankets) and you really don't have to worry about anything within the home, which was a huge positive to me. To me, the best part of their home was its location. The place itself is situated in a nice neighborhood, with bars/restaurants/Target close enough to walk to, but far enough where you can sit on the front porch and not hear them. Their place is also close to the convention center (rides to and from the center were consistently under $10 and took only a few minutes) and the airport (which you will likely hear - not a real issue to me). Gloria and Sean provided a very stress-free environment and I cannot thank them enough for that.
