We loved staying at Joe's beautiful, bright San Diego home. It was a perfect landing pad for our family's adventures - a short drive to the zoo, Balboa Park, nice coffee shops, and a slightly longer walk to many fun areas of the city, such as Little Italy (eat breakfast at Morning Glory, if you have a chance!) and the waterfront. FYI - it's an uphill walk back from the downtown area to the air B&B, but we found a great gelato place along the way to break up the walk and rest our legs!
Joe was very communicative and helped with all our family's needs.
A few things to consider:
We were traveling with two kids. There's a very comfortable King sized bed in the large, bright room, and a fold-out couch that sleeps two. The B&B consists of one large main room with a very nice bathroom and a small kitchenette with sink, mini fridge, and microwave. We ended up eating nearly all our meals out, which was expensive. On day 2 we bought a big box of cereal and milk from the 7-Eleven nearby so the kids could eat breakfast and we saved some money that way!
Parking is tricky - but Joe was very upfront about this in his listing, so we weren't surprised. 2-hour parking is available in the neighborhood on a first-come, first-serve basis. We rented a car, but an Uber might be easier for this location. Joe was very helpful with the parking situation.
The Air B&B is located on a fairly busy street. It's a very nice area of San Diego and certainly not a 'night life' hotspot, but we were surprised by how much street noise there was. The occasional truck rumbling up the road, people chatting as they walked past late at night, air planes arriving until 11:00 p.m., etc. It didn't bother us, but if you are a very light sleeper or need a very quiet night time environment, this might be something to consider.
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay at Joe's Air B&B, and would definitely recommend it!
