I stayed at Zanibar studio with my husband to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. If you're considering booking, do it! The hosts were excellent as far as communication. We had a little issue with getting in, and they were available immediately to assist. We chatted very briefly throughout our stay and Brian and Carla were very approachable. Upon arriving, we discovered probably the cleanest Airbnb we've ever stayed in! The hosts kindly left us a bottle of champagne and a thoughtful card to commemorate our celebration. They have really created an care-free, beachy atmosphere that we thoroughly enjoyed. The bed was extremely comfortable, decor was cute, and the kitchenette was functional for our needs. We enjoyed making coffee each morning (again provided by the lovely hosts) and sitting in the sun on the patio. The access to the beach is amazing and the hosts provide all you need for a day at the beach (boogie boards, towels, a big bag for all your stuff, chairs). The neighbors were friendly and the area was unbelievably quiet in the evenings. We walked everywhere, including down to Belmont Park, although there were bikes available to use as well. The boardwalk is a fun scene and definitely a party zone once the sun goes down. There are many restaurants, food stands, etc, and a grocery store within walking (Ralph's) which was helpful for beach snacks. We enjoyed walking along the Old Mission Blvd area near the bay. We discovered the wonderful world of acai bowls, be sure to get one at Better Buzz! We also really liked Oscar's Mexican (north of the pier) and La Playa (just across the street from the studio). We took an inexpensive uber ride to Balboa Park and the Gaslamp quarter but had the most fun on the beach. This was our first time in San Diego and it was truly memorable. Our only issue was that we didn't stay long enough!
