Rachel and Neil are truly super hosts. From the moment I spotted their “5 Cs Studio” till check out following a nine-day stay in San Diego, I felt I’d won the AIRBnB lottery.
The communication between us went a long way toward organizing the “food and fun” side of this business + pleasure trip. Rachel shared tips for delicious restaurants and beach or hiking activities I wouldn’t have known to check out on my own.
The studio itself is even more beautiful and functional than the pictures. The separate entrance features a beautiful tiled pathway to the left of the main house. Unlike many such attached AirBnBs, the space is truly separate, private, and quiet. The lock system—straightforward and opened/locked easily. The high-end kitchen includes a full-size fridge stocked with water; cabinets filled with glass and plastic ware; a coffee AND espresso maker! The white, grey, and stainless steel aesthetic is consistent throughout the studio, with a bathroom to rival the best hotels. The bed is comfortable, chargers/outlets everywhere, and the TV is easy and fun to use. An added bonus is the peaceful, private, sunny patio filled with birdsong, where I had a relaxing coffee every morning. I didn’t use the outdoor grill, but will next time!
Rachel even left chocolate and wine for us—something I’ve never encountered before.
A word on the location, which is perfect: 15 minutes max from most everything: Ocean Beach, La Jolla, the Gaslamp District, Coronado. The neighborhood is also quiet with plenty of street parking.
If you’re in San Diego for any reason, this is your little corner of paradise. These superhosts truly deserve that title. 5 Cs will be your dream home away from home.
