This place is fantastic. It was easy to tell that the hosts (Luis and Angel) really take pride in offering a great place to stay based on all the little person touches and thoughtful details they paid attention to, not to mention how clean it was. The location is fantastic; a block away from a pretty secluded beach (Fanuel Street Park) on the bay, and a short walk (3/4 mile) from the Ocean Front Walk (boardwalk) on Pacific Beach! There are also tons of scooters (Lime, Bird, etc.) available (if you're so inclined) to make getting around extremely easy. The only thing to consider that may not be ideal is the parking situation if you get back late at night (during the summer months). There's tons of street parking, it's just that they get full later at night and you may need to park further away than desired (several blocks, nothing too extreme). I recommend parking when you get there and using those scooters and/or walking if you're staying relatively local.
The communication with the host couldn't have been better, from reaching out at time of booking all the way through the stay and at check out. They responded within minutes when I had a couple random questions during our stay.
The place itself is so cool. It's a little studio apartment with a "kitchenette" and is just perfect for a "couple's retreat". The outdoor patio is private, quiet and a perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or relax after a day of outings. The pictures in the listing are very accurate, so if you like what you see, you'll really enjoy this place.
All-in-all couldn't have asked for a better experience and if we head back to Mission Beach for a stay, we will certainly come back here!
