Where to begin! I was coming form Florida, and have never been this far south in Cali, so I had no idea what to expect, and I was super exhausted, it was so easy to get here from the airport (25 min in 5pm traffic! and only 15 to get back there with no traffic!) Karena was so helpful with through directions, and was so fast to respond to communications. This is only my second time using Air BnB, so I still was not too familiar with it all, but she was so helpful. The condo itself was exactly like the photos! (not the case in my last one I stayed in). It was VERY VERY VERY clean, and you can see the beach from the walkway! The mattress was so comfortable, the sheets and pillows so soft, it was the perfect way to relax after spending a day traveling, and working hours. She provided plenty of towels, etc as well which is so nice! Her guidebook was so helpful for things to do, places to eat, etc... and Mission Beach is pretty rad! I will absolutely be staying there again next time I visit SoCal. It was also very quiet in the evening which was so great, I was able to sleep with the windows cracked to feel and smell the ocean breeze come in, it was great!
