Oct 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family visit We had a family destination wedding, the bnb hosts were great! The check in process was seamless, both units were very clean and exactly as advertised. The only difficult part was a raised spot on the driveway that scrapes the bottom of the car. It looked like many cars had been scraping on that area so I opted to park on the street. Otherwise, perfect. ##### Savan K. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eve M. Jul 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to stay in SD! The space was clean and unique. My family and I rented out 2 of the units to spread out. I loved the layout and it had pretty much all of the amenities that you would need when traveling. I liked that there was beach stuff for you to borrow and lots of games and things to do. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were nice and clean. We ate almost every meal outside on the balcony. However, the pictures were a bit misleading - we thought that we would have some view from the downstairs balcony but there was absolutely no view because of the trees growing underneath. So that was a bit disappointing. I think the pictures of the view comes from the next door units so that's something that I would've loved to know before booking. ##### Eve M.

Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brett M., Dallas, USA Mar 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good property, good food! This was a good property--we were unclear at first as to what exactly it was--it is two distinct 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom units, each with separate entry front doors. They do not connect in any way. That said, the properties are nice, have kitchens with elaborate supplies, nice bath products and very comfortable beds. We liked the patio (in the downstairs unit) as it was surrounded by a very large tree and comfortable in the evenings. We found the place very clean upon arrival and had some communications with the AvantStay team and they were very responsive. The neighbors were friendly and the property was a short walk to the "International Restaurant Row", which has many great choices of places to eat. We LOVED the Italian place and have the best fish and chips in the Shakespeare pub. Overall very good stay! ##### Brett M. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marites J. Dec 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay We had a great time in this property. It’s clean and well maintained. The location is also unique. Great for family. ##### Marites J.
