The host was wonderful. Tara did everything to make us feel comfortable and welcome. The communication was really prompt.
Overall the apt was as described, we even got to use bicycles.
The location of the apt is perfect for people who want quick access to the beach, it's 15 min walk to OB beach. But other beaches are also accessible by bikes (Mission beach).
The neighborhood was great and provided lots of places to eat and go out.
The only drawback is the vicinity of the airport, it can get quite loud sometimes but it's not too bad. This seems to be the problem of most San Diego neighborhoods, since we saw/heard airplanes basically wherever we went.
