Rachel was a great hostess. She was easy to communicate with and gave us ideas of what to see and do. The cottage is central to the beach and has 2 funky beach cruiser bikes to use. One has lights on it! She provided everything we needed and the photos were accurate. We had a busy week, took the trolley tour, biked to LaJolla (with rental bikes), whale watched, went to the San Diego zoo, toured the USS midway and enjoyed the bars and restaurants in the area. It is always entertaining to people watch on the board walk or go to the beach for sunset. I would recommend mission beach and this airbnb!
