I don't even know where to begin! This has to be the best airbnb I have ever stayed.
Check-in was super smooth and easy thanks to a cool and easy homepage that contains all directions for check-in, wifi, safety & rules etc that you have the option to pin on your phone. The location is also very convenient since it's central to practically everything. After you check-in, Shauna gives you the option of a quick tour once you arrive. She showed us how to work all of the appliances and answered any questions we had. Everything was spotless and clean when we arrived, even after having guests check out earlier that day. Me and my girlfriends loved the record player and all of Shauna's custom artwork that is featured throughout the apartment. We also appreciated the apartment handbook that Chris and Shauna wrote that had all of the info on the apartment and suggestions for local hot spots and food/markets to check out. When we would get back after a long day of exploring San Diego, we would turn on the AC that would cool off the apartment within minutes and enjoyed using the extra large tub/shower to wash off. At night we would sit by the fire pit and lounge on the super comfortable couch/chairs and enjoy the coastal breeze and outdoor lighting. Another night we enjoyed the hot tub which was clean and easy to operate. We loved the added feature of changing lights in the tub, along with a lotion ball that floats around while we would unwind.
Shauna was absolutely the best and brought over a bottle of Prosecco along with a card for my friend's birthday whom we were celebrating. It was so personal and thoughtful of her to do that, and we all felt like Shauna was a close friend at this point by this small gesture and taking such good care of us.
Right when we were getting ready to leave, I asked Shauna if I could see one of her cats that she has. I was missing my own cat at my home so she gladly obliged and I got in many pets with her orange cat named "Biggie". After that we double-checked all of the check-out procedures which were very simple to follow and said goodbye to our favorite stay.
I can not recommend this place enough if you're looking for a newer airbnb with a retro touch and all of the amenities someone could ask for! You are in good hands with Shauna and Chris as they truly care about their property as well as their guests' stay. I could not ask for a better place to stay on vacation.
