We thoroughly enjoyed Alan's condominium near Mission Bay! The first floor is an open floor plan, which allows all to be involved and be a part of the conversation. It's the perfect spot to play games, chill and watch a movie, enjoy Happy Hour, or simply hang out. The large windows provide lots of natural light, however, the blackout shades are also a bonus, especially if someone ends up on the couch for the night.
I was thrilled to find a well-stocked kitchen, which made cooking meals quite easy. There were enough pots, pans, bakeware, and blenders to make an array of meals, a variety of spices available (a true help, so it wasn't necessary to buy every single item for simply a tsp of something), and plenty of open space to allow for many hands to be on-deck during meal prep.
The toys in the garage were a plus! My family enjoyed bike riding on the bay walkway, and the beach boardwalk, often 2 and 3x a day; and being safety-conscious my husband and I were thrilled there were enough helmets for all bike riders. We tried out the surfboard, got good use of the boogie boards, played bean bag toss on the beach and most certainly used the ice chests on a daily basis for picnics. Not having to pack beach towels or toys made life easy, and definitely was part of the decision-making process when choosing a place to stay in the area.
