Ben definitely deserves the to be in the super-host category. He contacted me immediately after I booked the place and answered all my questions almost as quickly as I I asked them.
The place is charming, on the smaller side, but if your a tourist and out all day, I just don't believe any more space would have made a difference. The queen size bed was just perfect for my boyfriend and I and the Krueig coffee machine, and 1/2 and 1/2 was so nice to get that first morning coffee fix in, before venturing to the next coffee shop for seconds.
There was water in the refrigerator, cups and plates and everything you need (except a stove) to plate your take out food. The place is in a residential neighborhood so it was nice and quiet in the evenings and early mornings. No traffic noise whatsoever.
The place was super close to Pacific Beach and Mission Beach and easy to get to the 5 freeway. I highly recommend Ben's place, and I tend to be a bit Picky.
