The house is in the perfect spot in OB, especially if your dog is traveling with you. The amazing and famous dog beach is just about 3 blocks away. Shops, restaurants and bars are all within an 8 minute walk.
The hosts were responded quickly and were so helpful. The house is a perfect balance of dog-friendly and comfortable. The outdoor patio was lovely for breakfast as well as doing work. The bed and couch were comfortable. The kitchen was actually useful with a great stove/oven and proper cookware. The area feels safe and the house was well lit and secure. As a solo, female traveler, I felt safe and slept soundly every night.
As a heads up: The flight pattern from San Diego Airport goes right over Ocean Beach. You really won't notice the planes after the first day. The garage and alley parking space behind the house are small, so if you have a larger car (SUV), it might not fit. There's parking on the street, especially during the week, and street sweeping only occurs once a month.
I love Ocean Beach (and all the dogs!) and would definitely stay here again when I come back for work or vacation.
