Having stayed at Richard's place for three nights, we noted several pros. We cannot think of any cons. If you are staying near the San Diego area and want a beach AirBnB experience, we highly recommend Richard's.
The pros we noted include:
(1) Richard's hospitality. Richard attempts to go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. In addition to the lists of local venues to check out, Richard provided us with four bottles of water for our room upon arrival. Plus, he made us coffee in the morning on a couple occasions. Richard is friendly and if you are interested in European society, hockey, or music, you can have some fun conversations.
(2) Accuracy of description. All of the amenities listed were provided.
(3) Cleanliness. Richard cares about his home and it shows. For example, given the proximity to the beach, Richard provides water outside the door to clean your feet before entering the home and asks that you place your shoes on a mat upon entry. We did not mind this at all and actually appreciated it because (a) we do something similar at our home and (b) it noticeably leaves the home floor cleaner.
(4) Location. Richard's place is a 15-second walk from the beach. There are also a few eateries and a small amusement park within walking distances.
