Karena's place is half a block from the boardwalk at the southern tip of Mission Beach where you can go into the ocean or play basketball/volleyball at the park. It is not far from restaurants, convenience stores, and other amenities. The location is somewhat loud as it is near the airport and people tend to cruise with loud music along Mission Blvd, so it is certainly not a very peaceful neighborhood at night.
Karena's place is very spacious for a studio, has a modern and well equipped kitchen, and was overall very clean. She even provides beach equipment like chairs, umbrellas, and body boards for you to enjoy. Since I was there for a wedding, I really appreciated having an ironing board available!
Karena was an attentive host and made me feel very welcome. The place had everything needed so there was no need to reach out to her, and the communication prior to and after my stay was excellent.
