About the host
Hosted by Jose Rodriguez Pizarro

Hi! I was born and raised in Ecuador and now call Southern California home. I love spending time outdoors—whether it's hiking, cooking outside, or playing sports. Hosting gives me the wonderful opportunity to meet people from all over the world and share my favorite things to do in Southern California. I’m always happy to offer local tips to help make your stay memorable!
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it’s a peaceful residential area surrounded by nature, yet still centrally located. It’s just 9 minutes to San Diego State University, 15 minutes from the beach and the airport, and about 25 minutes from Tijuana—making it a great base for exploring the region.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property unique is its blend of comfort, privacy, and location. The Terracotta casita offers a relaxing, cozy, and self-contained space, giving guests a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. At the same time, you’re just minutes from the beach, airport, and even the Mexico border. It’s a perfect mix of relaxation and convenience—with the bonus of local tips from a host who loves sharing the best of Southern California!
