We had a great time in Ocean Beach and found Joshua's place a perfect location: walking distance from many cool restaurants and the beach, as well as short driving distance to all the San Diego attractions. We found OB to be a really special place with a great, cool, hippy vibe, and my 20-year-old son wants to move there. I'm really glad we got to see it, and would love to come back in the summer.
The Swanky Casa had everything we needed as a home base. The modern kitchen let us cook some of our meals to save $. The bathroom has a great shower, and the house easily accommodated the four of us. Being from the Upper Midwest, I found all the cacti and succulents surrounding the house fascinating.
Joshua is something beyond a superhost. Because of flight delays, we weren't able to pick up our rental car when we arrived. The next day, Joshua gave us a ride to the airport, saving us the hassle and expense of an Uber or taxi. You really can't go wrong with either Joshua or the Swanky Casa.
