Very clean, amazing location and Joe was accessible and communicated lightning fast!!! This trip was a mother/daughter get a way and my husband joined us the last night. We spent 4 nights/ 5 days there.
The pros: Communication- Joe communicates with you instantly. If you have a question or issue, he is quick to respond. The location- Joe's place is right next to the ocean/sunset cliffs. You can walk right down to the cliffs and watch the sunset every night. It is .4 miles away from the restaurants and fun activities in Ocean Beach. It is 10 minutes away from Sea World, Belmont Park. It is 15-20 away from Gaslight District and such. Amazing location. The pull out sofa is pretty comfortable. (I slept there)
Not really cons, but something to consider: Parking.-since this location is right near the cliffs, locals and out of towners come down to watch the sunset and they park there to walk to the cliffs. There is only street parking for all that live on that street so you are competing for parking spots with all that are coming to watch the sunsets. There are peak times where you will not find a spot close by- evening/night. Suggestion: park at noon time where there are open spots on the street and plan to leave your car parked there if you are returning late at night. Rent the lime or bird scooters/bike to get you around Ocean Beach or walk. Uber or Lift to get you to greater distances that are close by. Once or twice, we came back from being out all day, (10 pm Sea World) and had to park 4 blocks away or 1/2 mile away.
Joe's place is pretty sparse with amenities. (Don't let that deter you, just be prepared ahead of time) If you are using the kitchen to cook, it's just the basics. No spices, extra flatware/cook or bake ware. We had to buy a couple of things to be able to cook in the kitchen, which was different than other airbnb's we stayed at that had a fully stocked kitchen. It can get hot in the bedroom- There is a window unit air conditioner in the main room. For the summer months, the bedroom/bathroom will be warmer as there is only a ceiling fan in the bedroom, even with windows open at night in bathroom/main bedroom, it was warm. I slept on the pull out sofa because of the window unit and my daughter slept on the bed in bedroom.
All in all, this is a wonderful place to stay in Ocean Beach/San Diego. Joe is an asset to Airbnb and we hope to come back again one day. Great vacay! Thanks Joe and Airbnb!!!
