I absolutely loved the 5 nights I stayed at Gabe's place. You couldn't beat the location and neighborhood. Very easy to find parking on the street, not a single bit of a problem. Very safe. You can walk 1 min to this little foot bridge that would take you to where the bars & restaurants are in Hillcrest.
The interior of the Gabe's place is pretty nice & cozy. Bed is firm & comfortable. Bathroom clean & modern. There's a little patio in front with a picnic table if you feel like working from there for a bit. Wifi is reliable (I was working from inside the house and had no problem).
Now the best part — Gabe and his lovely dog, Bodie. Gabe is the most positive, warm, and welcoming person. So easy to talk to and hangout with. He's very considerate, quiet, and respectful of your private space. But if you happen to be the lucky one to hear his singing voice while he plays his acoustic guitar and sing, then you are in for a treat (we had a little jam sesh on the last night and it was a highlight of my trip). Bodie, this old grandpa gentle giant, is mellow & never barks so no need to worry of him annoying you. Such a lovely well-behaved dog and Gabe made sure the house stays clean. You'll definitely enjoy Bodie's company from time to time.
I've stayed at many Airbnbs, and I definitely think my experience staying at Gabe's place is in the Top 5. You couldn't find a better place at this great location with this price.
