The apartment, one of four units, is basic (comfortable). The kitchen is minimally furnished and a little wanting in the cleanliness department. But the location is great, and it was wonderful having (one-gear beach) bikes to use as part of the rental. The bike ride around Mission Bay, along bay and ocean beaches, was the highlight of our stay. We didn't have a lot of interaction with the hosts, but we met Bev, who was helpful and nice. If you're expecting a casual atmosphere, interaction with other visitors in the common area outside, and proximity to beaches, this is a terrific choice.
