The Airbnb is small and cozy in a great location. 4 of us stayed there for Thanksgiving, and loved the size of the kitchen for cooking at home. The hosts were gracious enough to give us 2 parking spots instead of one which made our trip more hassle free. Specifics-
(1) entrance and Check in: the unit is behind the main house. We were a little confused as to where to enter is as Google maps directs you to the front entrance. You need to drive up to the alley behind the Main Street. The hosts were very responsive and we were able to get checked in seamlessly once all was figured out. There was a surprise box of delicious buttery cookies and a bottle of wine waiting for us! So thoughtful.
(2) kitchen: the kitchen is a lovely size with a dishwasher, which was essential as they had exactly 4 dinner plates. So there weren’t any extra and we had to run it multiple times a day. Also, note that the freezer doesn’t have any ice trays- so make sure to bring your ice. There were 2 wine glasses, which also wasn’t super convenient for 4 people. However they did have the pots and pans we needed to cook! The wine opener they have isn’t the best, so recommend you carrying your own, and we had to buy a can opener as there wasn’t one. So basically they have the basics but anything that isn’t essential isn’t there.
(3) bedrooms and bathrooms: very comfortable. One of the blinds were broken but we didn’t care as we are early risers. Many reviews are around the AC- it is weird- it would get really cold at night and by 7am the heater would be on full swing- without any adjustment. But once youd turn it off, the house would be comfortable.
Loved the walkability factor from the house. And even to drive, can’t be more central than Pacific beach. If you’re looking for a no frills place, that is clean and comfortable, this is your spot.
