Patty is a great host! Very unobtrusive, but she lives close by so can be there quickly if you need anything. The place was so close to the beach and was perfect for my 2-week stay in SD. Protip—if you stay in unit 3, bring earplugs. The street noise goes decently late, and starts early, even in the off season. I will happily stay here again if it’s available the next time I’m in SD!
