The studio is exactly as advertised. It was very clean and less than 30 seconds to walk to the beach. We had a lot of much-needed rain during our trip so we didn't get to enjoy the patio as much as we would have liked but the time we did spend out there was so lovely. We were warned about the parking but there was work being done on Pacific Beach Drive so it was more limited than usual. If you are flying into San Diego and won't have a car, this is a PERFECT spot but we drove down and found parking a bit challenging. That's literally the only gripe I have and is no fault of the hosts', they disclose the parking situation before you book. Do not hesitate to book this spot, it's wonderful! We'd love to stay again.
