Paulo's place was really cozy and quiet. The room is at the end of a long hallway and the house is at the end of a quiet street. There's I think about 3-4 people living in the house including Paulo and everyone was friendly and kind. Did I mention how quiet it was? Everyone went to bed pretty much around 10:30 or 11, even on the weekend, which was an unexpected and appreciated surprise for me since I'm an early-to-bed, early-to-rise type. Dante, Paulo's dog, is adorable and totally non-threatening, and I say this as someone who was hesitant about booking this location because of some traumatic experiences in the past with dogs. The location is about 30 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by car from the Hillcrest neighborhood where I spent much of my time at Lestat's, a charming local chain of 24/7 coffee shops with a focus on practicality (i.e., tons of good seating and outlets) over pretension. Downtown, Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach aren't far by car, either. I enjoyed waking up at 5 AM and walking the streets in the dark, getting to savor the approaching dawn in solitude. Felt totally safe at all times. Paulo himself is a great guy who enjoys working on electric scooters and has an electric smile. I've been to a lot of Airbnb's, but this was one of my favorite room-in-a-house type Airbnb's, excellent value.
