Homestay in San Diego, United States
First off, congratulations on your plans to come to San Diego! We are confident that you will love it here. We love our city and love helping people to discover all of the beautiful places to visit and fun things to do in, and around, San Diego. We also love hearing about al of the adventures our guests have here. It inspires us to appreciate where we live that much more.
A little more about us and our house. There are three of us in the house, including our pooch - mother, adult daughter, and our rescued lab mix dog. We all share a large home with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and big front and back yards. Our backyard is quiet and serene with a large pool and plenty of space for relaxing. We are located in the Bay Ho neighborhood of Clairemont with a bus stop three-tenths of a mile from our house and a large shopping center one mile away.
We started hosting folks through homestay in 2009 and have since hosted guests from 13-45 and from all over the world. Most folks have been in San Diego to study English, and see the sights, others to attend local schools or universities, and a few here to do internships. All have gotten around town via various means - public transportation (bus and/or trolley), bikes or scooter share, personal bike/scooter, Uber/Lyft, and the occasional car rental (typically for out of town trips such as Las Vegas or the Grand Canyon).
Our house is typically very quiet and our lifestyle is easy going. This makes for a good fit with lots of different guests. We like to take our pup out to the beach and dog parks, spend time with friends, read, and go to the movies, or watch them on a screen in our backyard. One of our favorite things to do is to watch the sunset. A few of our favorite sunset pictures from local beaches are included with the photos in our profile. We've taught lots of guests about the green flash at sunset too!
We provide food for a continental breakfast that you prepare on your own and we make dinner for our guests each night.
The configuration in our three rooms is somewhat flexible.
Room 1, for example, can be set up with two twins beds, one twin bed, or one king bed. Currently, rooms 1 and 2 are set up with two beds in each and 2 students are sharing each room. Guests in room 1 have their own half bathroom, otherwise, all guests share a full bathroom. If there are particular amenities you don't see listed, please ask and we'll see if we can arrange for them to be available to you.
If you have any questions, please reach out. We'd love to hear from you and whether or not you stay with us, hope that you have a lovely time in our city!
P.S. - If you think our homestay might be a good fit for you but it doesn’t match your budget, please shoot us a message and we’ll see if we can make something work!
