Gerre’s place is great. This was my first time staying at an Airbnb where the host also resides on the property. It was a delightful experience. I spent most of my time exploring San Diego but when I was at the house it was quiet and always clean. My private room was comfortable and spacious . It was also nice to have access to common areas (kitchen, living room, dining area, front/back yard). I shared a bathroom with one other person and it was always clean and accessible. 3rd Ave which includes shops, restaurants, breweries, and cafes is about a 15-20 minute walk from the house. I did the walk a few times and the neighborhood always felt safe with many people walking or in their yards. The beaches are accessible by car and generally took me around 20 minutes to drive depending on traffic. I would definitely stay at Gerre’s place again.
