This apartment is fantastic, well equipped, comfortable and a superb location! A 2 minute walk to the beach (and that is literally from stepping out of the front door to toes in the sand). Mission Beach is a beautiful beach too, very clean, lifeguards etc, so its wonderful to be so close to the beach. The apartment was well stocked with everything i needed and more. I self catered and had everything i needed to prepare meals, there were plenty of towels, sheets & blankets. A lot of thought has been put into making this a home away from home. I didn’t have a car but there is a parking space if you need it, and i was always able to get an Uber to get wherever i needed to go (plus Instacart delivered groceries to the unit)
Something to note (and this is not a criticism of the apartment just some thing i would like to know about a place before i rented so i could be prepared, hope this helps someone): you can hear everything going on outside, the walls are thin (maybe not literally but you know the saying). I could hear everything from the screams at the amusement park down the road, the neighbours and their dogs, airplanes above (you are under a flight path), cars in the alley way. I want to add context here and say i live in downtown Chicago so I’m used to noise (this isnt me being sensitive). In the end i bought ear plugs and once they were in i was fine at night but the first night was tough. Sometimes i just had to turn the TV up a few notches to drown out outside noise of an evening. So if you are a light sleeper, bring some earplugs, white noise machine, whatever you need. I’m not telling you this to put you off, just come prepared!
I had a wonderful time and if i come back to San Diego, will be sure to check if this place is available! I cannot recommend this highly enough, a great spot you won’t regret renting!
