I stayed for a month at the airbnb (I did remote work) and had an amazing experience. John was always very responsive and also gave me good and useful tips for my stay as well as for sightseeing around SD. He is very thoughtful and included all the amenities one would need for a long stay. The airbnb is located in a very residential and quiet area of OB. I walked to the beach every morning and it only took me around 10 mins to see the water. In the evenings, I would walk down to Newport Avenue (the busier street with lots of restaurants and shops... 90% of them were open while I was there) and it only took me around 8 mins to get there. So the airbnb is in a very good location.
Even though you can definitely hear the airplanes operating from 6.30am until the evening, it did not bother me much at all and I was still able to work without distractions.
The living area in the airbnb can get a little warm during the day but the ceiling fan and having the windows open for a breeze helped.
There is plenty of street parking and the area is very safe to walk around, even at night.
I would definitely return to John's airbnb for a vacation stay and recommend his place to others. Thank you so much again for your kindness and hospitality!
