Dave is super friendly and great at communicating. A great host all around.
To start, their property is in a prime location if you are planning to spend a fair amount of time around Pacific Beach. An easy walk to the beach, but our group found it easier (and more fun) to ride lime bikes to and from the property, and around the area in general. The neighborhood is quiet and safe - just far enough to avoid any large crowds / commotion from the beach itself. It is about a 15 minute drive from downtown San Diego, better than we expected.
The house is cozy and met our expectations. It was refreshing to visit an Airbnb that was the personal home of the host, rather than an investment property from an agency. The master bedroom has a tempur-pedic mattress that made winding down from the long days that much more comfortable. The highlight of the house is the backyard. Large grass lawn, grill, couches around a gas standing fire-pit, ping pong table, outdoor gym, hot tub, and our favorite feature - an outdoor shower. It’s private in the backyard, so no need to worry about neighbors looking in.
10/10, would recommend to anybody who visits PB!
