Ivan's place is a little gem in Ocean Beach (OB)! Such a great location! Its about 50 steps from the beach and a 5 minute walk to the pier and OB storefronts and restaurants. There isn't private parking and is a challenge to find street parking mid-day on the weekend. Ivan said to call him if we had trouble finding parking and he would accommodate us at another property down the street. We never had to call him, but we also didn't mind walking a little. After returning from dinner every night, we were able to find parking right outside the house. The location of this home is perfect! Everything is in walking distance, you could park and never have to leave.
For being a one bedroom, one bath, this place is large and can comfortably accommodate 4 people, although we were only two. Ivan's place had a washer and dryer, comfy beds and pillows, several beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas. We did have to go and buy a kitchen sponge and hand soap though. I am confident that if we would have asked Ivan for those items he would have provided them, but we didn't bother. We had to go to the store and we were able to pickup those little items.
Ivan's place was wonderful. It could have been a little cleaner, but for being a beach house, I think he does the best he can. The only items that stand out as needing improvement is the bathroom mats and the shower. The mats appeared to be clean, but stained. The shower needs a little bit of updating. Because the shower is older, the grout looks a little dirty. Other than that, the home is well taken care of and clean.
Great value, I would recommend to friends and family!
