My boyfriend and I LOVED our stay at Ed's place! We hope to return soon.
Hosts: Ed and his wife Andrea were beyond wonderful! Easy and quick to communicate with, had plenty of local suggestions, provided amazing hospitality, and had the sweetest personalities. They really made us feel at home.
Space: The studio provides a full kitchen and bathroom with various amenities (pots/pans, various utensils, laundry detergent, iron, hair dryer, toiletries, kitchen pantry, etc.), two full closets, and a very comfortable living space. The whole studio was clean, especially the kitchen and bathroom. The patio was cozy and private. There is no air conditioning, but the fan sufficed with the ocean breeze at night.
Parking: parking is under the apartment complex- 1 spot to each apartment. Street parking is free and relatively available. Uber's were always around within a 2 minute wait radius.
Location: The location was beyond ideal- 7 minute walk to local restaurants, 20 minute walk to town, and 2 minute walk to the beach. Also took us only about 20 minutes to drive to the San Diego city/airport. The public beach was secluded and felt private, which we loved. Ed provided plenty of towels, an umbrella, 2 chairs, a cooler, and a hose to rinse off sand. Their hospitality exceeded our expectations!
Noise: We really had no issues with noise. Those in the apartment complex were quiet and respectful.
