To align with San Diego STRO and AIRBNB hosting requirement, we prohibit large parties. Cozy, intimate small events are always OK. Our policy will be monitored and enforced if there is a unruly gathering.

The living room fireplace and outdoor center square table firepit are for decorative purposes. The round black fire pits outdoor can be used.

Meet the Host

We appreciate architecture, art, food and people. We think of vacations as oxygen and we think food is religion. We have been to 25+ countries and list is growing every year. Our mission to go to all the national parks in USA is on hold after the arrival of our little one, we shifted our attention to urban traveling and our five year old has been to 14 countries spanning three continents already.
Before:
We moved about 13000 km from South Asia to East coast, then two years toiling in grad school, we moved another 4200km to San Diego to work in the high tech and called it our home. We lived most of our adult life in San Diego and moved to North park before it was cool. When our little one started taking over our cozy century old craftsman bungalow, we moved to Kensington in a 90 year old Spanish revival.
