My review is for both the home and the host.
The home is located in a VERY ideal location on Mission Blvd. From this location you have access to Mission Beach on one side, and Mission bay on the other side. The bay features all sort of water sports rentals (although since we went in December, we did not take advantage of this). The beaches in the area are beautiful and were not too busy when we went. The home is also very close to several cool restaurants as well as shops you would expect to find in a beach town.
Unlike many Airbnb homes, this rental has its own entrance which is accessed from Mission Blvd. It is exactly as shown and is clean and kept up. Several people commented on street noise, but we did not consider this a problem at all.
Catherine is the BEST host. She waited up for us when we arrived late in the evening and even helped us find parking when we first arrived. She responded almost immediately to every request we made and was warm and inviting.
We would stay here again.
