I needed a place to stay in Pacific Beach to do some bicycling, kayaking and just chilling out for a couple of days. Bryand's place was perfect for base camp.
The neighborhood is a block off a major artery (Grand), in a quiet, safe neighborhood, and less than a mile from the fun madness of the beach.
Compared to a standard hotel room, Bryand's "Classic Surfer Pad" is quite large, complete with separate living and sleeping quarters, and a kitchen. Wi-Fi was strong, and the large fridge and microwave performed flawlessly (I did not use the other appliances). The quarters were very clean and the king bed was super comfortable. Water pressure was strong and the neighbors were rarely seen/heard.
Communication was excellent between Bryand, Grace and myself.
The restaurant choices within walking distance are off the chart. For take-out, I loved Poke Chop.
As mentioned before, folks need to remember that one must walk up stairs to reach the pad.
