Perfect cure and comfortable

Walking distance to beach. Easy navigation on foot or by car to shopping. Quiet the majority of time. I had everything I needed to cook if I wanted or just heat up food. It was just perfect and I hope to come back.

Nice little place - excellent location with very quick walk to the beach! It has all the basics. It is very cozy, but we were not inside much. The bed leaves a lot to be desired - it is low to the ground and not very comfortable - could probably be remedied with a new mattress. It got very hot by evening even with the doors open - windows are not screened - but a couple of fans helped. Overall it was a nice little place and the location very good.

Small apartment in good location

The apartment is very small which we expected from the listing. There’s windows but you can really only see sky from them. The patio doors onto the patio still don’t lock. I had read this in reviews from months and months ago and had hoped they would have been fixed. The patio area is very small and confined feeling. It’s pretty dirty and the furniture there is past its best. We didn’t use the outside area at all as it wasn’t pleasant in any way. The whole apartment needs a bit of attention. The bed frame needs tightened and there is a damp feeling from the flooring. That being said, we just used the apartment for sleeping and as a base for our time in San Diego. Location is really good as it’s only a couple of minutes walk from the beach which is great. Our experience was fine. We stayed for 13 nights which is probably too long in such a small space.

Nice Location close to Wind and Sea Beach

Kitchen is fully functional. Heat is via space heaters and cooling is via fans. Worked well in March. Layout is fine, cloths storage is near the bathroom and not the bedroom. That works fine. The washer and dryer worked well and overall no real issues.

This property was close to the beach and within walking distance of most restaurants. There was grocery and liquor stores 1/2 block away. The bus stop was also half a block away. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils etc. The bed was comfortable. However, there was no heat. They had a space heater but it had a hard time taking off the chill. As a consequence there was a slight musty smell that lingered in the background. The patio was also quite small and only received sun shine in the middle of the day. Overall I was happy with this space and it was clean and comfortable. Communication with the hosts was exceptional

My stay here was great! Fast and easy communication with the host, and the unit was well kept. Great location too, just a quick walk to the beach. Only downside was the assigned parking spot being pretty tight. It was doable with my Tacoma, but a larger vehicle could be a real challenge.

This little place is bright, airy, high quality & well thought out renovated space as described in listing. Would stay here again.

Super easy to access and so so clean! 100% recommend to anybody! I could see myself staying here again in the future. My husband and I loved it!

So comfortable

So, I got in late at night. I had had a long day of travel. I was quite grumpy and had a hard time finding the place. I was just so tired. But I called the host and she was so calm and understanding! Helped me get settled in over the phone and made sure I was okay. The stay was PERFECT! Highly recommend the location and the host and the place. Location was wonderful, walking distance to the beach, everything worked, just can’t say enough nice things. And check out Candor for a nice meal within walking distance.
