Location, location, location. That’s what mattered to us the most about our trip and boy did we have it. Our stay at Phillip’s adorable home in the heart of Ocean Beach (literally blocks from the beach) was one to remember. My sister and I came to SD for a week in hopes of moving out there soon.
It’s a cute 2-bedroom/1 bath stay with a kitchen, which had everything you needed like a kuerig, pots and pans, and plates/utensils. We did wish there was a microwave to warmup leftovers or coffee but that didn’t damper our stay.
Being two women, we bought a floor length mirror since there was only one in the bathroom, but no biggie.
Although a bit dated, the place was full of charm-especially the awesome backyard space; it was showered with all kinds of plants and soft-glowing lights. We spent most of our mornings eating breakfast out there. Sometimes we had the pleasure of seeing one of his adorable dogs, Annabel, exploring the premises.
Phillip is a top-notch host, which is one of the most important factors with an Airbnb stay. He welcomes you with bottled water and a few snacks to start your trip. Anytime we contacted him for specific requests, he was there at a blink of an eye. We wanted a recycling bin-he supplied it. We wanted an iron-he supplied it with a new ironing board too. He even returned a package to UPS for us since we departed on Easter and everything was closed.
He takes a lot of pride in his role as a host, which my sister and I found honorable and reassuring.
Thank you, Phillip!
