William was a great host and very timely in his responses to my questions (within 30 minutes or less). He had a welcome sheet on the kitchen counter when we arrived to let us know all the details of our stay. There is a parking spot right in front of the house which is nice since most neighbors have to find street parking. The house was clean and quaint. Although there is no AC or washer/dryer, this is stated in the description. There is a coin laundry right across the street if you need it. There are plenty of ceiling fans to keep cool although it was still hot most nights, but we got used to it and kept the windows open at night. The beach is 1 block away and the neighborhood is quirky with a hippie vibe. We felt safe walking to restaurants nearby but there is definitely a homeless community in Ocean Beach. You can easily walk to shops/food/the ocean from this location in Ocean Beach, but if it is your first time to San Diego I would recommend a rental car since you probably want to tour around the city.
