This is a great location in Pacific Beach. If you happen to be browsing where to stay in the area, check out the Pacific Terrace Hotel - this apartment complex is right behind it. Which also means that both of the bedrooms face a driveway in the back of the hotel, generally ok most of the time, but it does come with some loud noises and occasional characters having a scene. Nevertheless, you'd be hard-pressed to find similar pricing elsewhere in Pacific Beach - just check out the pricing for the Pacific Terrace Hotel.
Fairly decent parking spot for the location - a bit tough to fit in, and next to the garbage bin, but clearly separated between a wall and a beam, so that neighbors cannot encroach onto the spot. It takes a bit of maneuvering (and a second set of eyes) to get a larger car in there, but we were able to park a midsize Lexus RX SUV.
The apartment itself looks to had been recently renovated, with fairly fancy beds, spacious dining table, and clean showers. Tiled common areas, carpeted bedrooms, one of the bathrooms is ensuite, another one next to the second bedroom. Not all the windows had screens, and while you can still open them, ground floor is also home to some pretty aggressive mosquitoes, so not really practical. The kitchen was well-stocked, had a new Samsung fridge, a Mr. Coffee maker and a large (and working!) Brita pitcher.
The cleaning job could've been better, as there were some random hairs on the bedroom floors, and the ceiling fans collected a fairly large amount of dust over time. Few of the bowls did not look like they had been given the proper wash, still having the dried out food from the previous tenants, but the dishwasher was in good shape and had a plentiful supply of tabs. Bathrooms were well-supplied with toilet paper, shampoo, shower gel, etc.
Communication with Cody was quick and effortless, we happened to arrive a tad early, and an early check-in was accommodated. The check-in is through a coded lock, so no keys to carry around. WiFi worked well around the apartment. Two TVs, both with Roku consoles.
The neighbor next door did not seem to be thrilled with an idea of having random AirBnB guests around and would generally leave his screen door locked half-way open (mosquitoes be damned!), kinda blocking the apartment entrance, as his apartment door is at 90-degree angle to this one. But other than that things are pretty chill at this small two-story apartment complex.
