This is probably one of the beat AirBnB’s we’ve stayed in. You can tell the hosts really thought about things from their guests’ perspectives, from check-in to check-out.
Check in was easy - just a garage code and lock box. Just make sure to read all the check in instructions first because it’s all laid out with pictures and everything. Walking into the space for the first time, I was impressed. The finishes were really nice, updated, and stylish. You can tell they really care about their guests’ experience. It was all very clean too. Soft towels, soft toilet paper, soft sheets, firm but soft bed, different types of pillows depending on your preference, Keurig with coffee pods, cream and sugar, all the standard kitchen items from plates to baking sheets, tv, WiFi, shampoo & conditioner, they even had a hair dryer and straightener in the bathroom.
But I have to really hand it to them for the shower. For me, the shower can make or break my stay at an AirBnB. For some reason it’s really important to me. This was the best shower I think I’ve ever had - no joke. It’s better than my shower at home. It’s a rain shower head that doesn’t make you feel like you’re drowning (like most rain shower heads), the back jets are a nice addition too. The shower head is placed high enough that even my 6’1” husband couldn’t touch it with his arms extended over his head. You can adjust the pressure and it never ran out of hot water. It was absolutely wonderful after a long day of walking around.
This place was so comfortable and relaxing that we almost didn’t want to leave lol!
If you’re looking for a place that’s close to the ocean, this place is (what seems like) a 30 second walk to Mission Beach. Or you can easily walk to the bay just a few blocks East. It’s also closer to the restaurants and shops than some other AirBnBs in the area.
Two things to note: you share the garage with the downstairs unit but because this unit is built on top of the garage, it is a little noisy when the other guests open and close the garage. Luckily they never accessed the garage while we were sleeping so it wasn’t a problem. Also, the space is a little smaller than it looks in the photos. I would say it would be comfortable for a small family or a couple.
Also, one piece of advice: if you’re taking an Uber or ordering delivery it’s easiest to give them the address of Dragon’s Den Smoke Shop. Then all you have to do is walk up the alley and you’re there!
Kylee was always quick to respond with any questions we had. Thank you Kylee!
