Ethan's place is in such a great location. We were able to walk to the beach as well as all the restaurants & bars in Ocean Beach. Additionally, it's a short drive to Sea World and Mission Beach area or both I-5 and I-8 which will get you anywhere in the San Diego metropolitan area.
Ethan was an incredible host with timely and thorough communication.
The only "cons" were clearly indicated in the listing, so there were no surprises.
1) The house is in the flight path so the plane noise can be distracting when all the windows & doors were open, especially while watching TV. However my toddler loved it, saying "bye bye airplane" every time one flew over, so it was a fun game for him.
2) Only the bedrooms have air conditioning, so the main living spaces can get stuffy when it's hot out. We were either at the beach or at San Diego's many fine attractions during the day, so it wasn't a big deal. And with all the windows and sliding doors open at night, the breeze cooled things down quickly.
The "pros" far outweighed the "cons':
1) Location, location, location. As mentioned above, it's ain't a great location. And as a bonus, you can clearly see the Sea World fireworks from the front porch.
2) Excellent host, great communication and flexible
3) Ample seating both inside and out for dining and hanging out
4) Comfortable beds and clean bathrooms
5) Excellent price, especially for an entire 2bd/2ba house in such a convenient location
We had a great visit and would highly recommend staying at Ethan's Place.
