Check in was great! Miriam provided bikes and we took the easy 1 mile bike ride to pacific beach. We hit all of the surf shops and checked out the restaurants. The outside pool area was great, the shaded area was perfect and flexible, there was plenty of seating. One downside was that there were flies in the seating area bring a citronella candle or fly swatter, we made a special trip to find the candles (not easily available in supermarkets). The kitchen had everything we needed. We took advantage of insta cart and had groceries delivered to the house within the first 4 hours and we used Uber eats and hubgrub for a few food deliveries. The Bay Area near by is clean and beautiful we mostly surfed and hit the Clairemont skate park we were about 5-15 minutes from everything we needed. Miriam was responsive, helpful and easy to communicate with.
