I stayed with John for six weeks during an internship. His home is very neat and well-decorated. The bedroom itself is clean, spacious, and comfortable. John is a great host. He was able to make time in his schedule to take me grocery shopping and show me the area. He had great suggestions for anything I wanted to do in the area. I was able to use the kitchen as I pleased--and I used it a lot. The area is also hard to beat. There are lots of great restaurants and bars within walking distance. Balboa Park is within walking distance, too. It is truly a great place to stay, and John is a great guy.
