Our family of 6 enjoyed our four-night stay in this Mission Bay Park Place rental. We came to visit some colleges and enjoy SoCal beach time. One of the largest factors in our decision to go Airbnb is for the ability to prep. food in-house because eating out with four boys is pricey! The kitchen was totally adequate for our stay in that regard, and very clean. Grocery stores like Trader Joe’s, Sprouts and Vons are only minutes away for supplies. Laundry access was a huge plus as well. The home decor is really adorable; I loved the artwork, and the couches and beds are comfortable. I agree that the front-yard dining and private lounging space was super cute and intimate. As noted by other reviewers, the location is central to some of San Diego’s hottest spots. My boys are huge beach-goers, and it was only a five-minute drive to great waves (surf and swim), and a 2-minute stroll to Bayside Walk, where my boys enjoyed exploring independently with the great bikes provided by the hosts, and where I enjoyed long morning walks with beautiful water views. The neighborhood felt safe and has a mellow and eclectic local vibe. There is a high degree of traffic noise from the busy location, but my boys said it felt like white noise to them, even at night. The driveway parking was a big plus as well, since curb parking can be competitive. I was also very thankful we were allowed to bring our chihuahua, who is the seventh member of our family. Erik was an attentive host. Thank you!
