This is a perfect get-away place for 1 or 2 people. Vicki was super responsive and so very welcoming, even letting me in a little early to drop my stuff off before running around town with my brother who was in town at the same time.
It is always hard for me to answer the question about how good it was compared to how I expected, because I expected it would be fantastic and it was even better than that! My brother took me there to drop off was very impressed and said he had never seen as thoughtful of a host.
Check in was simple, there was an extra key in the lock box in case I locked myself out (even though I didn’t, it was reassuring that it was there); Vicki left me many helpful notes, and some water, juice and healthy snacks which I so appreciated while traveling. The living room and balcony overlooked the pool, which was just wonderful to jump into after walking all over San Diego. If you don’t have a car (like I didn’t), it’s within a healthy walk of things you need, and I walked about a mile to The Venetian Italian Restaurant one night for a delicious dinner. It’s a really healthy walk of about 2-1/2 miles to OB but Uber makes anywhere possible!
The bedroom on the west side has 2 walls’ length of windows with views of West Point Loma and towards the ocean. Because it’s up on the 2nd floor and mostly out of everyone’s view, I left them open all the time. I read that it was near the airport (like all of West Point Loma and Ocean Beach) so I brought some earplugs but I didn’t need them. You get used to the planes pretty quickly and being from the east coast, I was awake before the planes started flying in the morning anyway. And I was so tired at night nothing could have kept me from falling asleep.
This was an ideal experience and I hope to be back again someday. Thank you, Vicki!
