Location was great, and the bikes were a nice touch. There are things in the small studio like the foam letter board that make the guests feel at home. Apparently one of the owners likes to travel, so he has a book of pictures of himself all over the world if you’re interested in that. The shower was spacious and the water pressure was excellent. We had everything we needed and some nice additions, which is what is currently expected of Airbnb listings in the price range. The restaurants and bars in the area really are great enough if you don’t want to go anywhere else in SD.
Problem: We were greeted to PB by having to park 3 blocks away. After contacting the owner for alternatives, I was told I could park in a driveway on NYE but not the other nights. With these vague instructions and the sight of tow-away signs everywhere, I decided not to take my chances. The scarce parking situation continued throughout our stay to a slightly lesser extent. The alternative is to not have a car, but if you want to go anywhere but PB, it would be more expensive to ride share everywhere (think the zoo, OB, even La Jolla).
Ventilation is also an issue. We were forced multiple times to open the door to manually ventilate the place. Luckily San Diego seems to have great weather throughout the year, so this worked out while we were there.
We plan to come back and even stay in PB again, but we will not return to this place.
