We were moving to San Diego and were looking for a place to stay short term (long term for Airbnb i.e. 9 weeks), while we found something more permanent. When Helen's condo popped up on Airbnb, we knew this was the one for us. Helen immediately understood our situation and was helpful with offering suggestions and quick to answer our questions. Her communication remained prompt throughout the duration of our stay. The unit itself is wonderful. It was much larger than we expected. The outdoor patio is cute and sitting out in the mornings with a cup of coffee was a memory we'll hang onto. We always like to have a full kitchen and the one here didn't disappoint. The appliances are new/modern. The wifi and A/C worked great. Overall, the place has everything that one might require for short and long stays, including a covered parking garage that has space for two cars. There is ample street parking too. The neighborhood is quiet yet only 2 mins from Mira Mesa Blvd and 5 mins from the freeway, and is located in the the heart of Mira Mesa i.e. most stores are within a 3 mile radius. We have a dog and most of our living arrangements revolve around her. The neighborhood has many shaded side-trails for walks. Penasquitos Canyon is a 5 min drive away with tons of shaded trails and a stream (that flows in the middle of summer). Bella's favorite place to play with other dogs though was Meanley Open Park (5 mins drive). The ocean is about 15-20 mins away. All in all, we have no complaints with the location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and while our move wasn't always all that smooth, it was nice to know that we had a great place to return to at the end of the day. We highly recommend Helen's condo and would stay here again in a heartbeat.
