i think the best hosted experience, I've ever had, thanks to Gwynne!

The pool house was much more than i expected- amazing!Comfortable, nice familiar touches, snacks, coffee, welcome beverages(had one) and s'mores (ate the chocolate). Great towels, bathroom, lounging, kitchen, fridge, and aplliances that we needed were fantastic!Comfy bed, great a/c and whole house fan (we have one at our home in SoCal, too) - felt so at home, this may be my next Girls Trip - we are mature women, but the hot tub and pool, FABULOUS! i know my friends would dig it!!!

About the host

Hosted by Gwynn Griffin

Host profile image
Hi, I’m a California native retired from the Navy and my husband is from France. We have been hosting in the guest house on our primary residence the last 11 years and have met some wonderful people from all over the world. We enjoy traveling, dining, socializing, and I am a gardening enthusiast.

Why they chose this property

Our neighborhood of Talmadge is a wonderful community of beautiful homes, lovely gardens, lots of dog walkers and strolling families. We have neighborhood events- a summer block party, Christmas Caroling, Fourth of July parade, summertime gourmet food truck nights and more that bring our community together. People are friendly!

What makes this property unique

What makes our guest house unique is the outdoor space for lounging, which is more than double the very comfortable space provided in the guesthouse. The outdoors are beautiful in San Diego and when you’re done exploring our fine city, you can relax in a peaceful garden environment, grill a meal, soak in the hot tub and finish the evening with some roasted marshmallows. Or, Uber down the road and enjoy the local eateries and pubs. What you also get is an easy-going nearby host who is both attentive to your needs as a traveler and renter as well your next door neighbor, happy to assist you.
