Nice central location, about half way between the Pier and Belmont Park, close to Bay, and very quick walk to beach. Easy to walk to many places for food. Great view of Bay from rooftop deck with a "peek" of the beach. The garage was great, and there is even a driveway (although very sloped) for another car (regular car or mid size SUV - a long truck would not fit). We have a Toyota Rav 4, and it was no problem fitting in the garage. We had friends with a similar size SUV that stopped by, and it fit in the driveway. Be advised, there are MANY steps in this house, and they are fairly steep. Steps up to the house, to the master bedroom, to the living area, to the kitchen, to the rooftop deck. Pretty much everywhere you go. Not a problem for us, just wanted to make others aware that if you have trouble with steps, or have small kids, it could be a problem for you. There is a large dumb waiter in the garage that goes up to just inside the front door. This was a nice surprise and was awesome for getting luggage from the car to the house. The house is older, as most are in the area, but is decorated nicely. Master bed/bath have plenty of storage, with many drawers in both. There were even hooks in the bathroom and in the closet to hang clothes and towels, and some hangers in the closet too. These details may not be a huge thing to most people, but I find this to be a huge plus. I hate staying somewhere where I cannot unpack all my things. The master shower was great (although a bit dark with only one light in the bathroom near the sink), and my husband loved the sauna. Like every place in the Mission Beach area, there is much street noise with the windows open. This is not a negative about the house, as it is like this pretty much everywhere, just pointing out that if you open the windows at night, you will hear the traffic, sirens, etc. And even though it was only around 70 degrees during the day, the bedrooms did get stuffy at night. There are fans available though, which help. The master bed was not the most comfortable, but daughter said the guest bed was comfy. The kitchen came with a hodge podge of items for cooking simple meals. Garbage bags, dish soap, hand soap, dishwasher tabs, laundry detergent and dryer sheets available. The refrigerator ice and water dispenser do not work, so you will have to buy ice (but there were a few ice trays). There is a filtered water dispenser at the kitchen sink, and a Brita pitcher in the refrigerator.
