Joan as a host:
Quick to respond, very warm and nice, and adds nice touches upon check in like a welcome note/Q&A book/snacks and beverages. I would gladly rent any of her properties she offers
The air b&b:
Everything is provided for a wonderful beach trip. In the garage she provides boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers, bike cruisers, ping pong table, and even sand toys. She also has beach towels, and a washer and dryer available which makes it so convenient to throw a load in after a trip to the beach. There’s nice touches all throughout the property that seem like well thought out ways to serve many different types of trips. We took a couples trip, but it would be just as great and feasible for me to bring my kids and enjoy the property just as well.
We didn’t need to rent a vehicle because everything is so close. We used Uber and Lyft which picks up within 2-3 mins from this location, and went to Pacific beach for $14 round trip. You could walk there, but I suggest driving because of everything you have to haul. There’s also motorized scooters to rent if you download the bird app for $1 to start and .15/minute to take down to the beach.
The neighbors are quiet, and it’s a safe neighborhood. WiFi works great!
All in all hands down the best air b&b I’ve ever stayed in, and we’re looking forward to coming back with our kids!!
