What a place. It was my first time using Airbnb. I usually go with top-rated hotels and had previously stayed at Loews and Hotel del Coronado in San Diego. Based on the pictures and reviews I decided to give Airbnb a chance.

The pictures do not truly show how great this place is. On arrival I was very happy and spent many evenings watching TV and relaxing in the spa/pool. It was nice to have so much outside, I am from London so this was not the norm. It felt like uber posh camping. All of the kitchen utensils of a high standard.

My host was great and couldn't have been more helpful. He was unable to meet me at the property on the day due to a private matter. However he sent me a series of useful videos and instructions. Which were perfect! Even though I had settled in he still made the effort of come to see me later that evening to check everything was ok. This was very kind of him and he showed great pride in is property and ensuring his guests were comfortable.

I am now back in the UK and already looking at dates for my next adventure in San Diego. I will certainly be checking to see if this place is free first.
