Richard is an amazing host. After reading some of the reviews I was little hesitant about the location but once I got there it was really no big deal. All of the places In the area have alleys and the homeless are harmless and really ALL over San Diego, it’s inevitable. The airbnb is perfectly located in the middle of everything. Favorite part was how close to the ocean we were and so many good restaurants near by. The apartment was very clean and equipped w everything we needed. Our neighbors for the weekend were very nice and friendly. Richard was quick to respond to any questions we had. He worked at his store during the day which was really nice. The beds were comfy. There were plenty of towels. The apartment had everything we needed. Loved all of the vibes of this neighborhood and would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
