Ivan is the perfect host! He made sure everything was perfect for our stay from beginning to end. The place is beyond clean, and stocked with anything and everything a person or family could want or need. In my small steps, it is LITERALLY 250 steps from front door to the beach, though there is not an ocean view (not a drawback, as everything else makes up for this!). It is an amazing value and meets the needs of anyone looking for an inexpensive way to experience beach town living. Everything is within walking distance, and a quick $13 Lyft or Uber ride gets you downtown. It is also close to the main tourist attractions in SD. For those who are light sleepers, or are bothered by air flight paths or noise after dark, you will experience both, but not unbearable, and for us not an issue. It does get somewhat warm, so even in November we left all of the windows open, which was perfect (and we always felt safe!). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
