Not sure why there are so many great reviews. Low quality AirBNB! The positives: host is polite and responsive, okay physical proximity to beach, decent kitchen appliances, assigned parking space, able to bring approved pets. Looks nice from the photos, but staying there is not great. I spent 7 nights here total (I was hoping to switch locations after the first night but looked at the cancellation policy and wouldn't get a refund so I stayed). The negatives: actual location is just okay, a portion of the bay is technically a few blocks away, however distance to Mission Beach/PB boardwalk area is about 2 miles. There are only a couple of restaurants within a walkable distance. The street noise at night and early mornings is intense. The "AC" is not actual air conditioning but rather a loud, portable window unit which when in use does not allow the curtain to close properly, or the window to lock, rendering it pretty much unusable if you want privacy or to prevent someone from being able to easily slide the window open into your room. There is a ceiling fan so that helps with the room temp a bit, but it got pretty hot a few of the nights. The walls are paper thin... you can hear people in the adjacent rooms sneeze, talk, use the TV, run the shower... The linens were poor quality and minimal amount provided (some of them smelled sour). The bathroom was dirty at check-in. Whole room smelled weird. Bare bones kitchen: has appliances, but the cookware is desperately lacking. Has a couple of pots, a scratched up non-stick pan, plates, few glasses, silverware, a coffee pot, and Britta filter for water. Definitely couldn't cook an actual meal here. Does NOT have the basics like potholders, a can opener, spatulas, strainer, cutting boards, decent knives, a toaster, a blender, wash cloths, or a bottle opener. Didn't have dish soap. I was able to make breakfast here in the scratched up omelet pan, but that's about it. I wasn't there to spend a lot of time in the room thankfully, but I actually dreaded going there! It felt like a crappy, dreary motel. Most people only stay a few days so I had many new neighbors during my stay. A few were really bad... one of them screaming in the middle of the night (about 1 AM) on the phone about really personal details of her life and some trauma she experienced... another group had a bunch of people over and were probably having a great time not realizing how obnoxious they were in their drunken stupidity, blasting their music, swearing and discussing sexual acts (only mentioning this part for people thinking of bringing little kids here... I wouldn't). I reached out to Brandon after midnight and wasn't expecting him to even see my communication or do anything about it until the next day, but he addressed it that evening, so that's a positive as well. The other guests were fine it's just the actual construction of the apartments that is poor. Staying in college dorms/apartments with college students is a better more restful experience! Even though you can bring your dog, they don't have any grass or area on the property for them to go to the bathroom so you will need to walk them. They also don't have anywhere to put pet waste so people who bring their dogs will need to either walk to the gas station or the beach to find a trash can. I don't like giving poor reviews but I recommend staying elsewhere.
