Room description

You must be excited about your upcoming adventure! Both of us were international students (studied and/or worked in Chile, Spain, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Mexico). So, we know how it feels. That's why we hosted two high school exchange students for a year each (Italy and the Czech Republic). We've hosted college students/professionals from Brazil (2), China, Japan (6), Norway, South Korea (6), Germany, Pakistan, Iran, the U.S. and Taiwan. We have been hosting since 2014. Most guests stay for a year. Two have stayed for 1 1/2 years or more. All would have liked to have stayed longer. Many come back for a visit after their Homestay is over! We enjoy opening our home to adventurous students who want to not only live in our home but be part of our family. Our study abroad experiences were life-changing. We want yours to be, too.

So, let's see if we're a good fit.

NEARBY SCHOOLS:
San Diego State University (SDSU), American Language Institute (ALI), Connect English and Grossmont College are nearby and easily accessible via public transportation. Many other schools are a possibility but you would need a car or Uber.

ABOUT US:
We are both teachers. So, we love to see people learn and grow. There is so much to explore in San Diego. Our home will be a welcoming, peaceful, safe and encouraging place from which to begin your adventures. Our children graduated from university (careers in nursing and physics). We have two little dogs (Phoebe and Luli). We love to travel, read, garden, walk on the beach, play with the dogs, hike/camp/backpack/exercise, enjoy nearby Mission Trails Regional Park and Lake Murray. There is so much to see, do and explore in beautiful San Diego (beaches, neighborhoods, Balboa Park, festivals, etc.). You are coming to a wonderful place! We are active and enjoy students who are, too.

OUR HOMESTAY PHILOSOPHY:
If you stay with us it will be a home AND family stay, not just a room. You will be more than just a renter. Our goal is that when you return home you'll want to come back to your second home on Oakridge Road. Truly, we want you to have the best homestay experience in the entire United States!

OUR HOME:
1,900 sq. ft./760 m2 home (plenty of space) peaceful, happy, loving home (4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths) located in a cul-de-sac in a SAFE and quiet neighborhood with no crime. We have a canyon behind our house with a trail (Rancho Mission Canyon) and green/park space nearby (Lake Murray and Mission Trails Regional Park). We don't have any traffic noise of the city. It is really calm, peaceful, and SAFE. Feel free to enjoy the common spaces (bright living room, dining room, tv room, lively garden). Our guests especially love the backyard patio and garden. It’s common to see and hear all kinds of nature right in our garden: soaring red tailed hawks; mourning doves cooing; gentle rustling of eucalyptus tree in the wind; three or four hummingbirds softly chirping and buzzing;...
