We met Isabel briefly upon arrival, that was the last time we saw her (which was fine). We mentioned we might be early, and she was fine with us dropping off our stuff early. The description was pretty accurate! It's near the beach, its near the nightlife of Pacific Beach, and near grocery stores and restaurants - which was nice because we didn't have a car so we biked (using their bikes which were SO helpful!) and took Uber everywhere! The only thing that wasnt my favorite was the fact that the WiFi really didn't work. I do work from my computer as I do a lot of blogging, and I really couldn't access the Web during my stay.
