This was my first airbnb stay and, unlike most virginal experiences, it was familiar, comfortable and left me with an overwhelming feeling of contentment.
Franz is a very attentive host, will address your queries quickly and as best he can (even if he is travelling), and is a warm and interesting individual . I found his effervescent housemate Yayoi also very willing to help out and, if you're lucky, she might even take you around the corner to Rocky's for one of the best burgers in San Diego.
There are a couple of bikes out the back which, while not equipped for the Tour of California, should get you around Pacific Beach well enough. A car would be handy here but the beach-flavoured bohemia of Garnet Avenue is only a 10 minute walk, and you can engage in your choice of yoga, crossfit, body art, hemp products, sushi or craft beer. People do stuff in PB- it's refreshing.
All the basics are as advertised - internet is reliable, the washer washes, the dryer dries and the place is kept clean. It's an ageing home, so it has a few quirks, but I'll take that over sterile and predictable apartment living any day.
The residence and the residents are each good value. You should stay here.
