The host is professional and efficient. He took care of any issues that cropped up quickly and his communication was very good. The house is clean and about a 3 block walk to Ocean Beach and some good restaurants. Parking in back of the house came in handy as on street parking is hit or miss. It's a lively neighborhood but we didn't have any noise issues. We used our car a lot because we drove to different beaches, hiking and restaurants around the area.
