I stayed in this flat for 3.5 months and absolutely loved it. It's the perfect place for a long stay for a single person or a shorter stay for a couple. The location is perfect - just steps from the ocean and a short walk from the bay. The area is lively but not noisy. The view of the ocean from flat 7 is such a bonus - you can see wonderful sunsets and I even saw dolphins from the flat, and you can always hear the sound of the waves. Staying without a car is easy - it's a 5 minute bus ride or a lovely 20 minute walk along the ocean or bay into Pacific Beach, which has everything you need. The number 8 goes from just outside the flat every 15 minutes and takes you to PB, or to Old Town Transit Centre or Balboa Transit Centre, from where you can get buses or trolleys to other parts of town or the train to LA and north. I commuted regularly to UCSD in La Jolla and it was easy. The lack of laundry facilities is mildly inconvenient but there is a good laundrette just a couple of blocks away with very long opening hours so it's not much of a problem. The local coffee shops, bars and restaurants are great, and there are many more just a short walk away. The flat itself is lovely - full of light and nicely decorated. It had everything I needed, including a well-equipped kitchen and a good shower. Surf Style were responsive and helpful whenever I needed anything. I loved my time here, and can't wait to come back. Thanks for an amazing stay.
