We had a good stay at Jarrod and Maria’s place. They communicated well and check in was easy. The location was great if you are looking to stay in Mission Beach. Personally it wasn’t what we were looking for and isn’t the same it was 5-10 years ago. The area is very run down and touristy. We enjoyed the bay side as it was more calm so it depends on the scene you are looking for. We ended up going north to La Jolla and enjoyed the area better as it was a bit more relaxed and pretty beaches/coves. We took bird scooters up to that area which was fun and used their bikes on the boardwalk in mission beach.
They provided great beach amenities to use like chairs, umbrella, coolers, towels etc. the bikes are a bit beat up but work.
The studio itself was very clean and cozy. We enjoyed the patio the most. The only downside is the ac unit was a window unit in the bathroom so it took awhile for the place to cool down. Good fan over the bed. We sleep with it pretty chilly so this is important to us when booking an air bnb. It took most of the day to cool down but once it was running in the evening it was fine.
Overall good location if that’s what you are looking for and they were great hosts. We have an air bnb ourselves so we do have higher expectations but overall had a good stay.
