We were a bit disappointed in this place. The positives were that Michael was a great host! He communicated regularly, it's easy to check in/out, and the location was positive (for a lot of people). In terms of location, if you are looking for a beach vacation, then this was an ideal spot. It is a short walk to Mission Beach. If you are not looking for a beach vacation, then this might not be the spot for you. We were not, but didn't realize that until we were there. A lot of the bars and restaurants nearby are loud with a very young crowd, so this location is ideal for beach goers looking to party. We didn't mind the location because it was easy to get up to La Jolla and to get downtown, it just wasn't what we were expecting.
We also booked this location because of the outdoor area. We were looking forward to sitting outside with a glass of wine in the evenings; however, this is located directly on Mission Blvd, so the street is really busy, plus they were doing construction. The outdoor area wasn't very clean, so it was uncomfortable to enjoy. We didn't end up utilizing the outdoor space at all, which was disappointing.
The inside of the unit was ok. The bed wasn't comfortable, but I am thankful for the portable air conditioner because it was hot the weekend we were there! The last thing I want to comment on is the bathroom. Maybe I missed this when booking the place, but the bathroom has a door but the wall doesn't go all the way to the ceiling. Essentially, someone can be in the bathroom and it is basically like being in the same room as the person in the bedroom. This was really annoying.
Overall, we prefer to stay in places that are much nicer and kept up. We wished we had stayed in the hotel across the street.
