I’ve stayed in with Mark’s family for one month. Mark’s family is the most sweetest, kindest and loving family I have ever seen! They helped me through so much concerns I had. They will actually consider you as a member of their family and address your needs in every way. They are very respectful and care about their guests! Big thanks to Mark and Angela. You made my stay very comfortable.

I spent wonderful days with them! Mark and Angela are really kind and amazing people. The house was very clean and comfortable. Great access to the grocery store, cafe, restaurants and two bus stops. I highly recommend this place to stay in San Diego. Hope to see you again. Thank you so much!

Chiaki was a gracious and considerate roommate in our home. She learned the transportation system by herself and was happy to be in our home. She loved every meal we made and never once failed to tell us so. She even cooked for us which was an awesome treat! Chiaki even helped with household chores many times without being asked. We are going to miss her dearly. Chiaki is welcome back anytime!!!

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
