The place was nice, as pictured. Perfect for a couple or a single. You could fit 4 if you really really like each other, but it would be tight. There is a nice outlet in the bedroom with usb ports, but it has a blue light that is kind of obnoxious if you like it to be dark when you sleep. I didn’t use the beach toys as it was Jan, but I walked to the beach and it was very close. It felt convenient to everything I wanted to go to in San Diego. I rented a Toyota Corolla and it fit fine in the garage, I wouldn’t want to drive anything much bigger in that area as the streets are pretty narrow. Parking in SD can be tricky and pricy, so you may want to just Uber depending what your plans are. There are a few restaurants within a block and there are many many more a mile or two north. I didn’t reach out to the host for much, so I can’t speak to their responsiveness. Overall I would rent it again especially if coming in a month that is warm enough to really enjoy the beach.
