Doug's place is nice. The location is perfect - you've got beach right there and all of the shop and restaurants within walking distance. You can't really go wrong. Every restaurant we tried, several of which Doug recommended, in the immediate area was fantastic and being able to walk to the beach to watch surfers was a great time. If you want to get away from people, the stairs at the top of the road lead to a more hidden away cove where fewer people go.
The pad itself is great. As the description of the place mentions, it is small, but contains all the amenities you could need in a well formatted layout. The cool San Diego nights left the room a perfect temperature before sleep with windows open. Also really enjoyed the big flat screen.
The only negatives I had were the shower and street parking. These are not complaints towards Doug, but rather considerations. I knew the bathroom was small, but that shower is tinier than tiny. I'm a bigger guy, and moving around in the shower was impossible. On another note, this spot has street parking only and the parking spots to the back of the building are off limits. My recommendation, don't move your car if you can avoid it. If you come back after 4 or 5pm, you will likely spend 10 minutes searching before parking 2-3 blocks away. It doesn't feel like an unsafe area, but if you want to keep your car close, it could be a challenge.
Overall, great place to stay and would definitely do so again. It could not have had a better location.
