Meng was a great host with a great space! Me and my boyfriend booked last minute with Meng after deciding to stay in SD another night.
First off, he was an incredibly fast, friendly, and responsive host. Booking was approved so fast and so was the set up. He also sent a list of food recommendations. We couldn’t have had a nicer host and it was nice to meet him in person before staying at his place, he didn’t just hand off the keys but gave us lots of tips and good information.
What first attracted us to the space was our future goal of van living... the cruiser boards (great quality), surf boards, and wet suits were a great bonus. We both had never gone surfing before and rentals are expensive so the fact that they came with the booking was the cherry on top. We also went surfing later in the day and the wet suits were so great at keeping us from being cold, we had such a good time that every time we were about to head back we said “just a few more waves”.
The bed in the van was also SO much more comfortable than the beds in any other Airbnb I’ve slept in before, even better than my bed at home (really), it was amazing for resting after a tiring day of surfing and walking around. Meng also included some water for us, towels, an extra light (the van has a few lights on the ceiling as well), a place to charge your devices, and an iPhone charger. The van does not need to be running in order to get power.
Overall we had a great time staying in the van and would highly recommend it even if it’s just to try it once!
