We have rented 40+ houses with Home Away and other apps, but this was our first experience with Airbnb, and we were happy with this rental.
The condo was exactly as described. It is located on the cliff right next to Pacific Beach, with stairs leading to the sand. The condo faces away from the beach, but if you are tall you can see the ocean from the high window in the bedroom. The condo is close to everything, with most of the San Diego attractions (Coronado, Balboa Park, La Jolla, etc) within 15 to 30 minutes of drive. There are many great restaurants within a minute of walking distance from the condo. We really liked Oscar Mexican Seafood and is highly recommended. There are many electric scooters available for app-based rental nearby. Pacific Beach has done a good job in working with the scooter companies such that the scooter cannot be parked on the boardwalk, and they are automatically speed-limited there, so it’s win-win.
The condo comes with 2 parking spots, a huge plus given how popular this beach is.
The owner, Frances was EXCELLENT with communication, very prompt with helpful response and suggestions.
Bonus: Frances also speaks French:
Frances (l'hôtesse) parle aussi français. Comme elle vivait dans le sud de la France, la copropriété regorge de souvenirs de la Côte d'Azur et de photos de Cinque Terre.
