Laura was a great host! We had optimal privacy. We stayed at her home for 6 nights and only saw Laura once. She regularly checked in with us via Airbnb texting to see if we needed anything. The home is located about a 10 minutes walk away from Ocean Beach. We saw many beaches in our stay in San Diego and Ocean Beach definitely was one of the top. There’s always something going on. Most of the other attractions (downtown, Balboa Park, Cabrillio point) were about a 15 minute drive away. Old town and SeaWorld are closer at about a 10 minute drive. We used Uber for most of our stay (which was very reasonably priced) except for the last day where we rented a car and drove to Cabrillio Point, La Jolla Beach, and LA. We noticed being picked up by the beach was cheaper than being picked up from the house. It was also fun talking to locals and getting their recommendations.
The house itself is a bit on the dated end, but comfortable. The bed is very comfortable. The hot water ran out twice and the sink was slow to drain. We also encountered several harmless spiders. You hear the planes flying over as stated in the listing, but as long as the window is closed it’s not bad. The neighborhood is quite and there is free street parking in front of the house.
Overall we were very happy with our stay at Laura’s house and we really appreciated Laura’s hospitality.
Definitely would recommend it to anyone seeking to get away and looking for a quite place to stay.
