This was our first time using AirB&B and were a little apprehensive about the whole experience. Boy were we wrong!! Al was a fantastic host and helped navigate us through being "newbies". He exchanged several emails & text messages with us to insure that we were well acquainted with the property & process before we arrived. He even allowed us to check in a bit early as we were traveling into town that day & arrived a bit early. The location is fantastic! Close to the beach, yet away from the craziness of Mission/Pacific Beach. Restaurants & shops are a quick 5-10 min drive away. Very close to Sea World & the airport. We loved having a safe, secure parking spot (It is a little small. We have a Honda Pilot that barely fit). He was also gracious enough to allow us to park a second vehicle there free of charge one evening. On the day we left he wisely advised us to move our cars from the road at the risk of being ticketed due to weekly street sweeping. The home is just as pictured. Despite being on the "main drag" of Mission Beach it was still very quiet. Plenty of room for our group of six. The kitchen is small, but has everything you would need for a short trip to the beach. My wife is a clean "freak" and was delighted at how clean the home, linens, & bathrooms were. Check in/Check out was a breeze... Overall our experience was fantastic and we can recommend this unit to anyone contemplating a stay... We will be back for sure!!
