The house is super cute and a 1 block walk to the bay park. It's a half mile walk to little shops, food and coffee, and less than a mile to the beach at Pacific Beach. The neighborhood was quiet for a good night sleep. The patio and pool table were enjoyed. The host was informative, prompt and pleasant.The only negatives were that there were no screens on the windows or doors. We had everything open because it was hot, so there were mosquitoes and flies in the house. The other negative was the camera for the front gate as it was set at the back of the patio. It made the patio feel not private.But generally speaking we had a very pleasant working staycation.
Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2026
