This was an incredible place to stay!
The location was perfect. There were dozens of restaurants, bars and coffee shops in the area. We were there for a month and ate out almost every day without scratching the surface of what the area has to offer. The restaurant/coffee shop next door offers discounts to Airbnb guests. I had coffee there every morning and ate there a few times and the discount really added up. We were also a short drive from the dog beach, ocean side, PB, and gas lamp district.
The living space felt much bigger than I expected. My wife, myself, and our 2 large dogs lived and worked there for a month and it didn’t feel crowded at all. There’s also a really nice patio area that my wife spent a lot of time on, and that space makes the overall space feel much bigger too. There is also an outdoor space in the back that my dogs loved.
The bed and all the furniture was great. The TV had cable and the wifi was fast.
Karen and Andres were also great! We mostly spoke with Karen and you can just tell how much she cares about her guests and the space. Since we were there so long we had a lot of questions for her about the area and she was always happy to help. She was also really nice and unlocked the door for me when I locked me keys inside… twice. If you have a dog, you’ll be happy to stay here. A lot of places are okay with dogs but not all hosts are “dog people” - Karen is. She was really nice to our dogs and we all felt really welcome.
All in all, this is an incredible place to stay. It’s bigger than you might think, the area is perfect, and the hosts are amazing.
