My special lady friend called this place a "Sky Box" and that's absolutely what it felt like. The location is on a rise on a hill so you look out over the ocean and other surrounding buildings through the windows. The breeze circulates through the space and is better than any air conditioning. If you enjoy a space with natural light, this place will truly delight you.
You're situated in walking distance to the tide pools and this wonderful stretch of beach straight down the hill from the apartment. Breathtaking at night and super convenient during the day. Parking near the beach is only two hours and fills up quick, so staying so close makes a huge difference if you want to get your beach day in and not stress moving your car around.
This place had one of the cleanniest and most welcoming lay out for a studio--and very stylish. Everything was squeaky clean--a huge relief for someone like me who is very Covid conscious--and gave me a real sense of peace of mind. The shower and bathroom were spacious for me and my lady to move around in together. They have all the accouterments of being able stay there for an extended period of time and have everything you need at hand.
When I travel I price around. This place is comparable to prices I saw listed but where most only listed rooms (via Air BnB), this was a great value for having your own studio. You can pay more for a hotel chain in the area ($40 to $80 and up), but why settle for a pool when you're right next to the ocean?
Ed was very communicative and replied really quick with any questions I raised. Even when I hit a snag with my plans, he was extremely helpful and generous in trying to help me find a solution.
If I come back to the San Diego area, I'm going to try to book with Ed first. I highly recommend you do too.
