I can't say enough about this amazing little gem or Renee! Renee was very easy to get in touch with and responded quickly to my calls/emails. She was very friendly and thoughtful - even left a bottle of wine, glasses, flowers, and a list of suggested places to eat. It's obvious there has been a lot of love put into this apartment as it was exceptionally clean, well taken care of, and all the appliances, fixtures, etc. seemed new and modern. There's a full kitchen with basic utensils/glasses, WiFi, TV, washer/dryer in the bathroom, a couple beach towels, bath towels, linens, bikes, and new boogie boards for guests to use. AND little patio is adorable! The apartment is tucked between the street & alley and even though it's close to surrounding neighbors (as are all places in PB), it was still pretty quiet because you don't have street noise - and we were there on 4th of July. As for the location, it's awesome. You can walk or bike to both the beach & the bay. It's a longer walk to the beach (20+ mins at a leisurely stroll) than the bay (which is more chill than the beach), but sure beats staying inland and trying to find parking near the beach during the summer. If you plan to bike to the beach & want to take the boogie boards I suggest packing a backpack or something you can strap the boogie board to unless you are a skilled one handed bike rider and can hold a boogie board with your other arm. Grand and Garnet are also easy to get to by bike if you are looking for places to eat or grab a drink. Unless you're looking for a place right on the beach, this is a great place to stay because it's so easy to get to other places in San Diego (LaJolla, Mission Beach, Balboa Park, Gaslamp, Old Town, etc.) and way better than renting just a room in a shared space. I would definitely stay here again! Renee does a really lovely job keeping this place nice so I hope that guests who stay here are just as respectful and do their best to leave little trace behind other than some wet towels.
