A very nice place which seemed newly renovated. Nice comfortable furniture, comfortable beds with good pillows and linens, lots of soft bath towels. Soap and shampoo were provided. Beach towels were also provided. It definitely felt a bit hotel-like that way. The kitchen was nicely equipped with good pots and cooking tools that seemed new. Everything was very clean. A few windows had small views of the ocean. Hot water was plentiful. Outdoor deck was great with a gas grill, bar stools and a view of the the ocean just as shown on the description page. Checking in was very easy, and Ivan was very helpful about how to check in, even sending pictures of the door and the store where he keeps the keys. Since it was unusually chilly during my stay he even texted to ask if I wanted the heat turned on.
The apartment was on the second story over a market that is mostly a liquor store, so people were often coming and going there making noise even in the late hours, but it wasn't too bad. Ocean Beach has its share of partiers and homeless people who are a bit noisy if you are sleeping in the bedroom that faces the street, but that is just the nature of the town. There are also planes flying overhead pretty constantly, but that, too, is just the nature of Ocean Beach. (There was a basket provided with earplugs which helped a lot for sleeping in). All in all, a great place to stay and I would stay there again.
