My husband and I really enjoyed staying in this downstairs apartment during our first trip to San Diego. The location is absolutely perfect! You are close to everything without feeling like you are staying in a crowded and overpriced hotel. It only takes a couple minutes to walk to the beach and pier. We also walked to several great local restaurants and breweries.
This was our first time trying Airbnb so we weren’t sure what to expect. I was really impressed with how safe the area felt. The gate and apartment require different passcodes which are provided prior to your stay. Both were super easy to use. It would have been nice to have an extra lock inside the apartment. Most of the time, we could barely hear our neighbors. It was a very quiet and peaceful place to relax while preparing for the next day of adventures.
The interior of the apartment was clean. We didn’t find a single bug or spider, which was nice considering this unit opens up directly to the outside. A few things would have made our stay even more enjoyable: 1) curtains on the windows to block the outside lighting at night, 2) additional lighting in the kitchen, and 3) towel holder in the bathroom to dry your hands. As you can see, these are minor details and we really felt at home in this apartment. The bed and sheets were comfy. We loved the body pillows. You wouldn’t find these in a hotel!
It was also nice to have areas for storage, like the built in bookshelf in the dining room, the closet, and the large dresser. I also liked having hangers to hang up some of my clothes instead of them staying folded up in my luggage.
Doug responded to questions quickly and sent helpful information to us throughout the trip.
We definitely recommend this apartment for your stay in Ocean Beach!
