Ivan’s place was conveniently located less than a block from the beach and within a 5 min walk from the main Ocean Beach strip with all the restaurants and bars. Close enough but not too close for it to be too noisy. It’s on a somewhat busy residential street, so you can hear cars go buy from time to time. Ivan was a great host. Very friendly and accommodating. I do have to say that the bathroom smelled a little like a sewer. I’m not sure why, because it was clean, but I think it may have to do with the plumbing. I tried to open the windows to air out the smell, but the windows are right above the dumpster off of the alley, so that smelled worse and forced us to keep the windows shut. The window air conditioning a/c unit worked well but was loud and on auto it kept turning on and off to cool the place, so it was difficult for me to sleep, but I’m a light sleeper and my friends slept fine. The floors also felt sticky so maybe clean the floors with something less sticky. The place was spacious and beds were comfortable. The TV is a little far from the couch and the faux leather sofa material is peeling away. We loved that beach supplies and a cooler were included. We also really enjoyed the full kitchen, with all of the plastic/glass ware provided.
