Our stay at Ethan's place was, overall, really good. The space is beautiful and the views from the front and back decks can't be beat. The basket of treats and wine waiting for us was a nice touch.
The Ocean Beach neighborhood is fun and funky. We've only ever stayed near the marina when we've been in San Diego, but we much prefer this area - it's more authentic and less touristy. The house is a short walk to the beach, and on the way you can enjoy the flocks of parrots in the neighborhood.
Ethan and his sister communicated well and were super responsive. We needed some beach equipment and they loaned us an umbrella and chairs within hours of being contacted. We also discovered that there wasn't a toaster, and Ethan's sister dropped off a brand new toaster right away.
The one drawback was the jet noise. In the property description,
Ethan gives very fair warning about the jet noise, but we were still surprised by how noisy it was and how often a plane flies over the house. We generally had to stop our conversations to wait for the planes to pass. The noise is less disruptive during the evenings, so if you're gone all day, it shouldn't be as much of an issue. I suspect any place in the Ocean Beach neighborhood would be the same, though.
On the whole, Ethan's place was great. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, nice clean place in a fun neighborhood, this is it!
