I'm just a e-mail, text message, or call away! I can guide you through the check-in process, as well as answer any questions you have while you’re here. San Diego is my favorite city in the world, and I live for helping guests discover why I love it so much.

My neighborhood, North Park, is one of San Diego’s most historic and funky places to be. It's home to artists, local businesses, a Farmers Market, craft beer, wine bars, sushi spots, handmade ice cream, and your pick of brunch options. Guests love North Park’s neighborhood vibe, even though it’s just 3 miles from downtown and The Gaslamp. Century-old architecture and the ringing of church bells during the day in North Park add to its historic feel. And my house fits right in!

No need to worry about a car. You have your pick of coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques just a few blocks away. Easy public transport is just around the corner, taking you to downtown and all places San Diego. Uber rides are quick and convenient, too, getting you into downtown in less than 5 minutes.

The backyard (firepit pergola, playset, hammock), laundry room (coin-operated), and outdoor spaces are shared with neighboring units.

Originally from Germany I moved to San Diego 12 years ago after falling in love with the city during a visit and have been very happy to call this wonderful city home for the last 12 years! I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to 60+ countries and work in 10 of them and love exploring new places and make friends from all over the world along the way. Yet San Diego is still my all time favorite place to come home to :-) I'm passionate about actually seeing REAL life and REAL people in each of the countries I visit and not just staying in a generic hotel. So as a AirBnB host and traveler myself, I am always trying to give my guests a great experience here in San Diego and the chance to explore and really get to know my favorite place in the world! Welcome home to your adventure in San Diego!!!!
