This Airbnb is my happy place! It is perfect if you want a simple, relaxed, comfortable, quiet beachfront condo to enjoy the Pacific ocean or bay. It is also in a wonderful location to use as a home base for exploring the San Diego area .
Richard is a phenomenal host! So very kind. He goes above and beyond to help you enjoy your stay.
He was nice enough to pick me up from the airport and give me a ride to my conference at the end of my stay. He even went out to the store one evening to buy me a coke when I had a migraine.
This condo is comfortable and clean and as advertised/pictured. It has everything you need to enjoy your stay (i.e. list of great local restaurants, beach chair, beach towel, bike, shampoo, soap, hand lotion, water bottles, etc. There is even a powerful fan that cools the bedroom better than
A/C if the cool sea air is not quite cool enough for you).
You have the private third floor of this condo to yourself with bed, bath and a private deck with an amazing view of Mission Beach. Richard occupies the second floor. He is quiet and respectful and gives guests their space so sharing some common space (entry way, kitchen) in the condo is not an issue. Guests can come and go as they please. However Richard will also interact with you if you would like. I found him to be delightful company.

The beach is steps away from the condo and the location is unbeatable. I was able to walk everywhere while exploring Mission Beach and the surrounding area. Beach yoga, volleyball, surfing, Belmont Park, and many wonderful restaurants and shops are all within short, comfortable walking distance.
The only negative about this Airbnb is that I was not able to stay longer.
