As briefly stated in the listing, the property is managed through a third-party service ("Pillow"), which handles everything online. This made some things easier (automatic key code access 2 days before entry), and other things less so ("mobile friendly House Manual" was less than helpful when checking out).

It's in a central Mission Beach location, with easy access to the water and attractions. The parking space was essential, and you can potentially pull a second small car in behind. (We asked the downstairs tenants first!) The balcony is nice, but it's not clear whether this unit has access to the downstairs patio with grills and dining table.

The inside is tasteful, and has good bedroom closet space. It's very bare-bones (EX: no bathmats or doormats; very basic bedding; only 3-4 pots/pans; apartment-sized fridge; etc.). We happened to visit during the New Year's cold snap, and so the lack of any (really--zero) extra blankets/throws was even more obvious.

This worked for us as a nightly home base!
