If Chris' place is in your budget, just book it already. The location can't be beat if you are looking to stay in the Pacific/Mission Beach/La Jolla area. Tons of amazing food and drink nearby to satiate any type of appetite. Chris' place has a great view overlooking the Pacific where you can relax and listen to the waves and watch the surfers do their thing. Check in process was a breeze and well-explained. Just about anywhere is a 20 minute Uber or scooter ride from here, a great "home-base" for your San Diego trip so to speak. Chris' also provides beach chairs, etc to use for a beach day. If you plan on just hanging on the beach, it's literally just steps away. Our favorite thing was falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the waves. A great experience!
