This place was 100% user-friendly, and the perfect location to get anywhere in San Diego. Ubers and Lifts were easy to catch, and my husband and I walked the entire point just for fun.
Irene is a friendly and reliable host, providing easy check-in, prompt correspondence, and just the right amount of "here-for-you" but noninvasive energy. I lean toward needing more privacy and alone time than most, so airbnb's or bed and breakfasts can sometimes feel intimidating to me... (my husband is a total extrovert and loves it, lol). Irene's hosting style is perfect for more introverted people since she connected and stayed available but in a very gentle, gracious way. She's wonderful.
We came from Michigan - a place with plenty of fresh water - and so didn't expect that the shower would have water pressure to rival our own! That was fabulous! I love a shower with good water pressure! Especially after time in the ocean!
There are maps. There is amazing food within walking distance. (But we like walking and find it easy). And the kitchen had fun little "extra's" like coffee creamer and butter for your toast in the morning. It looked like it was probably not a system where the kitchen is stocked, per se', but more of a communal contribution from other guests. It was nice to feel that if I bought a bag of coffee the grocery store and only made a few pots, that the next resident could enjoy it too if they wished and it wouldn't go to waste. That made me happy.
In short: we highly recommend this location and had a fabulous trip! (Also, we now love San Deigo!)
