I stayed in San Diego for a long weekend following a business trip, and chose Patty's listing for my stay. It was perfect for my needs. It's a cozy studio apartment with a comfortable bed, and it is well supplied -- beach towels, cookware, etc. The ability to grab a kayak, beach cruiser bike, paddleboard, or bodyboard and walk to the ocean or bay is fantastic! It seemed that the area of the oceanside beach right by Patty's place is a nice quiet section in between two busier areas to the north and south, which was great.
Patty met me herself at check in and gave plenty of information and recommendations, and she responded immediately anytime I sent her a message.
The keypad deadbolt means there are no worries about losing the keys... one less thing to carry to the beach!
In terms of noise, this is a ground floor apartment right on Mission Blvd so there is a potential for street noise but it never bothered me... similarly, you can hear the upstairs neighbors walking around on occasion but it was never a real issue.
For an incredible location with tons of outdoor toys available to borrow, Patty's place is a real winner. I'd definitely consider staying there again on a return trip.
