This is just as advertised. A great view in a residential area. The host is very responsive to messages. If the courtyard is full of people, it can be very loud, but this is mentioned in the description so don’t be surprised. The location is very close for a walk on Sunset Cliffs, but about a mile from Ocean Beach, where all the shopping and great food is. This is a very typical condo style Airbnb with just the bare necessities. It has towels for bathing but no beach towels or chairs, as described. Some Airbnb’s are loaded with extras. This one is just a great location with a great view and a nice place to stay. If you want personal items for the beach or otherwise, you need to bring them. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Only one complaint: the deck outside the second floor will rattle your rooms if kids are running on it. We told the host and she very quickly addressed the noise issue, but nothing can be done about the noise of the deck.
