This studio is a gem! Chavonne and Milton were away, so we weren't able to meet them in person, but there were handwritten notes when we got there, along with a plate of homemade cookies and other snacks and drinks - it was quite welcoming! I had a bad experience with Airbnb on my last trip, so I was a bit nervous about this one - what a relief it was to walk into this lovely space, where everything was well-maintained and CLEAN! It doesn't hurt that it has all the cute design details everywhere you look. It felt like home.

Towels are something I'm really particular about, and their towels were fresh and clean, snow white, and neatly stacked in the bathroom. Everything felt like top hotel quality. The studio had everything we needed, including pots and pans, plates, utensils, cups, coffee maker, toaster, beach towels, iron (not that I ironed, but I know some people need their irons!), ironing board, and what I think was an air bed.

There was a small incident, where I smelled some gas as I entered the studio after being out a while. I texted Chavonne, and she was super quick to respond. She sent someone right over. It was just the pilot light on the stove that had turned off, and a couple of her lovely neighbors came over with a lighter to turn it back on for us. My husband, my daughter, and I waited outside in their cozy yard and enjoyed the breezy evening San Diego weather until the smell went away, which happened rather quickly.

We only stayed two nights, but it was a great experience for our family. If you want hotel quality Airbnb experience with generous amenities and hosts in San Diego, you've found the place!

Thank you, Chavonne and Milton!
