Amazing Experience

The check-in & check-out process was extremely easy and quick. The room was amazing cute and perfect for me and my wife to have a fun stay in San Diego. What we really liked was the cleanliness and comfort level which added to our relaxed experience. Lastly, the host was also very responsive to our questions.

Comfortable Stay for a Quick Visit to OB

My husband and our dog enjoyed the property for a short trip to Ocean Beach/San Diego from Las Vegas. The bed was comfortable. We were walkable to shops, restaurants, and the beach. We had no luck with parking out front of the property, but found nearby street parking spots and when it came time to load up and leave, there was parking in the back alley. It was nice to have the fan, we would have died without it because it does get warm/stuffy in the space. If you're a light sleeper, you might find it difficult with the passing airplane noise overhead, but you'd likely hear that anywhere you stayed in OB.

Perfect place to spend a few nights

This rental was the perfect location to spend a long weekend when in town for a graduation party. The rental was exactly as listed with even more provided than we anticipated. We didn’t have a car so I can’t speak to parking, but we had no problems hopping into Ubers on the street. We were also a 10 min walk to the beach, and another 10 min to an area with a lot of beachfront restaurants. There was also coin operated laundry right behind the unit, and, though you could hear planes throughout the day, it was overall a quiet area. Hosts were friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay again!!

Convenient stay for some beach time

Cute studio apartment was perfect for one or two people. It's an easy walk to the beach, many restaurants, coffee shops and stores. It's a little loud being in the airport flight path, but no problems at evening bedtime when there are few flights.

Good spot

It was a good spot. Getting in may be a little tough bc of parking, so just park in the alley and unload and then go find an actually parking spot. But otherwise it was a cool spot. I'd invest in some blackout curtains, especially for the skylight

Unsanitary, covered in dog hair

My girlfriend and I stayed here over for 3 nights. As soon as we walked in, we noticed dog hair and a dead ant on the bed. As we walked around, we realized our socks were covered in dog hair to the point we had to throw them away. There was no vacuum to clean the place up. I messaged the hosts twice on Vrbo and didn’t get a response. I then texted the contact on the second day and finally got a response stating they were sorry and would send over a cleaner. The cleaner came the next day and the place was still a mess. It was almost like they just organized and didn’t clean anything. I then messaged again about our stay on Vrbo and they replied with “”. Are you serious? Never coming back here again.
