Chris was incredibly responsive both leading up to and during our trip, making sure we had everything we needed. The location of the apartment is great- it's as close to on the beach you can get without actually being on the beach. He had beach chairs, towels, an umbrella that were available to use, which was super convenient. There were a ton of restaurants/cafes/shopes within a 2 minute walk- we barely explored a fraction of it. We would definitely stay at Chris' apartment the next time we're visiting Pacific Beach!
