Xochitl and her husband where great hostest, they make you feel welcome just like home, the place was quite and great for us to have a family time, cant wait to come back to Ensenada and visit Xochitl again.
Jonathan2016-10-28T00:00:00ZThis is such a wonderful place to stay! Jose is really hospitable and kind, and the space is perfect for a family. The beach is across the street, and Jose lent us his longboard to surf the morning. The waves there are perfect for beginner/intermediate surfing, and the beach is almost empty and very peaceful. It is also perfect golden sand and right next to the mountains! The Bufadora is 10 minutes away, and there is tons to do nearby. Also, the house is in a semi- retirement community for Americans, so it is very quiet and quite safe.
Celeste 2016-02-29T00:00:00ZWhat a great experience! My first time using Airbnb and Maria and her husband made it perfect! Directions were accurate and the constant contact with us as we arrived to make sure everything was going good. Very accommodating and the house is literally 100 feet from the beach. Our son played with their dogs who enjoyed time with us on the beach and even jogged with me in the morning! We couldn't have asked for a better experience and I hope our future hosts can meet up to Maria's standard. She is just awesome! Thank you again!
Erika2016-10-03T00:00:00ZWe had an amazing time at this place. The beach is literally across the street and is pretty private, even on a holiday weekend. Jose and Maria we very welcoming and showed us were we could buy food and beverage. They even let our nephews take the the dogs to play at the beach, Happy and Lena. The place is big and has plenty of space for our guests (our four nephews). The hardest thing about the stay was leaving. I would recommend anyone to stay here, just a reminder that this is Mexico after all and this is not a resort. I would describe it as lovely beach cabin.
Adrian2016-03-31T00:00:00ZMaria was very nice and let us rent the house at very short notice. We appreciate her hospitality!
Nathaly2016-09-22T00:00:00ZThe description was accurate and very close to the beach.
Patricia2016-09-06T00:00:00ZVery nice host, helpful and friendly. House isn't very new, and furniture was pretty old but comparing with what we paid for, that was an awesome stay, thank you. Thank you again for waiting for our arrival until midnight.
Sibel2016-06-04T00:00:00ZAmazing location - 30 second walk from the beach. The home is pretty basic -- no heat, had water issues while we were there (which I assume are normal, given their slightly remote location). We were surprised to find the home is actually a duplex, and that Maria's husband Leroy was staying in the other unit - but this turned out to be one of the best parts of the listing, as Leroy is a native english speaker, super helpful, and an all around fascinating person. He was also kind enough to help us start the fireplace the first night. Overall, had a great vacation that our family will never forget!

The host was very welcoming. The directions were correct and easy to follow. Getting the keys was no problem. Carlos was extremely responsive to texts/emails and even came over to troubleshoot the internet when it wasn't working. The place was as beautiful as described. We had a bonfire in the backyard. There are gorgeous views of the ocean from the house. Small path to a very secluded beach. Private parking as described, I felt very safe. Beds were comfortable, clean, and well-decorated. The table was set with silverware and dishes. We were quite taken with the house. The unfortunate things: 1) internet did not work at all during this trip, and this was part of the reason why we chose to book with Carlos- we needed to do some work in the evening, and couldn't do it as a result of this. Even though he came over to help with it, it still didn't get up and running. 2) hair in the shower drain 3) low water pressure for the toilet 4) low water pressure for the shower in the master bedroom other than that, appreciate the wonderful stay.
Ann2016-06-20T00:00:00ZListing was just like described, big and spacious. Neighborhood was quite. Great place for a large group/gathering.
Cesar2016-06-01T00:00:00ZGreat place for a large group of people to stay! Overall, I would suggest this place for families and friends. It is within 100 feet of the beach. We stayed there over Xmas and New Year's 2016 and had a great time. The neighborhood is quiet and the front yard area is pretty. There is an awesome roof patio the size of the footprint of the house. Great for hanging out in the sun. Bedrooms are a little cold in winter, and there is only a gas heater (fan is loud) in the living room. The stoves are electric, and one has a broken cooktop surface. They heat inconsistently (even more so than usual electric ranges). I wasn't clear on where the washer/dryer were.
Jeffrey2017-01-03T00:00:00ZThe house is very big and nice. It's very quite and relaxing. The road to the house from the main street is unpaved, I think this is something that has to be mentioned. The host is a wonderful guy and very helpful. Thank you Carlos very much!!!

Have to say that as a first time for using Airbnb it was an awesome experience. Alberto was very accessible and helpful via message and provided all the information I needed before heading out to the place; e.g. detailed directions to the place, a map, contact information, other things to do in the area, etc. Doña Dora was there to greet us and give us the key to the place and show us around the studio just like Alberto said she would. She definitely made us feel like if we were visiting family as opposed to simply renting a room. We had no issues with the place and finding the it was a lot easier than we had anticipated. Will definitely come back here and would highly recommend it to any couple visiting Ensenada since it is pretty close to all the major to-do spots in the area. Thanks Alberto and Doña Dora!
Sergio2015-11-26T00:00:00ZIt was a very pleasant stay at Ensenada. Quiet street (except dogs -not only from the neighbour), convenient drive route, nice room, and most importantly, very friendly host -Dora is always with her warm smile! Alberto patiently answered my questions regarding to crossing the border, public transport, bike renting, etc. since it was our first time going to Mexico. Thank you!
Gang2016-10-14T00:00:00ZAlthough I never got to meet Alberto in person, his brother Salvador and mother Dora were very nice and accommodating. Casa Julia was exactly what my roommate and I were looking for during our short surf trip to Ensenada. The place was very clean, plenty of blankets, space heater, soap and drinking water. Clear Directions and great food and drink destinations around Ensenada were also provided. They even watched our dog while we went surfing! Will definitely stay here again.
Brett2017-01-29T00:00:00ZMuchas gracias Dora y Alberto! Nos encanto su casa! You likely need a car, but Uber was available until very late. Lovely studio close to everything. Awesome hosts!
Eric2016-09-12T00:00:00ZBeautiful, clean and cozy place! I will stay Alberto's place for next time also!
Woojin2017-03-05T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful time. The space was quiet, clean, and safe. Dora was so sweet and greeted us kindly. She was very helpful in accommodating our late departure. I would definitely come back. Although the studio apartment was small, 3 of us stayed there comfortably.
Sylvia2015-07-14T00:00:00ZCasa Julia is a beautiful studio, it had everything we needed and so clean! The neighborhood was quiet and safe. It was only a few minutes away from the downtown area and from the pier. Dora was so sweet and welcoming—she even had some fresh fruit waiting for us. She was also accommodating of our late-night check-in. I would definitely recommend staying at Casa Julia.
Gaby2016-04-05T00:00:00ZAlberto's place was great! It's located in a very nice, quiet neighborhood right outside of Ensenada, about a 10 minute drive from the center of town. It was a little challenging to find at first since the map app we were using kept giving us the wrong information. However, Alberto was very helpful and responsive to all our inquiries. The place itself was cute and clean, perfect base of operations. Alberto's mother, Dora, is super sweet and eager to make you feel as at home as possible. They also have a very reasonable pet policy, which we very much appreciated. This was our first trip in awhile where we could bring our little doggy :) Thank you, Alberto and Dora!

Our stay here at the beach house was very relaxing with the amazing view and sound of the ocean! Mauricio and Abigail were most gracious hosts! The accommodations were very clean, comfortable and simple. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you!
Gail2016-08-24T00:00:00ZWe recently stayed at Mauricio's and Abi's place, and had an absolutely fantastic stay. Their home was one of the cleanest that we've stayed in our AirBnB experience. The bed was comfortable, the house was in a very safe neighborhood, and the ocean is right out the front door. You can't beat that. The room had a fresh coat of paint, a new ceiling fan, and Abi has many homey touches like flowers from their wedding decorating their home. The private bathroom was also very clean, with great water pressure. If you are not fluent in Spanish, no worries, Mauricio's and Abi's English is great. They are such wonderful hosts, they treated us like we were family. We were there for the Ruta Del Vino bike ride, and one of our bikes had a part break the day we got there. Mauricio called up a friend and had him come over and help fix the bike, and gave us a shop to pick up parts. Ricky not only fixed the part that broke, but ended up doing a major tune up on the bike. What a great experience to have people you've only known for 30 minutes jump in and help out. Such generous and great people! One evening we ended up enjoying wine, delicious food, and great conversation with Abi, Mauricio, and their friend Carlos. Carlos for President!! There is so much to do and see in Ensenada. If you like craft beer – make sure you stop at Agua Mala which is really close to their house. Thank you so much to Mauricio and Abi! We look forward to seeing you again next year if not sooner!
Stephanie2016-07-26T00:00:00ZExcellent find right in between wine country and downtown Ensenada. We felt like home. We are definitely coming back!
El Pipe2016-11-13T00:00:00ZMy stay with Mauricio was fantastic!! It was absolutely perfect for me. He was the consummate host, greeting me upon arrival, sharing all the details about his beachside cabana and making me feel so at home. The room is great with a very comfortable large king bed and a private bath. There is even a large window with views out onto the beach and ocean. Sunsets from his cabana are awesome! It is also centrally located, making getting around Ensenada very easy. He even gave me a tour of a winery and a top restaurant in Valle de Guadalupe! He also introduced me to some really nice local folks, which was great. Highly recommend staying here if you like casual, laid back living with the most amazing ocean and sunset views and a super friendly, knowledgable host!
Carol2015-09-07T00:00:00ZWe were very blessed to have had this first and best experience through Airbnb. First of all, we are very pleased and thankful in regards to dedicating thier time and effort in making this an unforgettable vacation. We are truly thankful from the bottom of ours hearts. This experience was unique and by far one the bests we have had. We were lucky and had the opportunity to meet three great people with an amazing heart and soul. They welcome us by opening the doors to their home. We learned a lot. It was incredible that we were in Ensenada, we visited The Valle of Guadalupe, we enjoyed great wines, we enjoyed the great food of Ensenada, I also had the opportunity to cook with you and it was an amazing experience. Not only did we meet and live with locals from Ensenada, we left becoming great friends. We are again very thankful for this entire experience. We hope to see you soon. #EstuvoChilo #LostInBaja #Beers #Wine #BeachHouse #LaVini #Airbnb #BajaMexico #foodie
Don2017-02-08T00:00:00ZA jaw dropping setting right on the ocean, and Mauricio is a lovely, friendly, laid back AirBnB host. The house wasn't entirely our cup of tea for the price (and I think that's because we're older), but we did really enjoy our stay in Ensenada eating our way around the taco stands and sampling the local craft beer.
Suzanne2016-04-27T00:00:00ZMauricio and Abi were great hosts! Very friendly and accommodating. The place is cute but small. And don't be afraid when you arrive, as the place looks a bit run down from the outside. It's been completely re-done on the inside and the view is just amazing. The house is a 5 minute drive to downtown Ensenada and very close to wineries. Mauricio and Abi were also great. They run their own restaurant about 20 minutes away and have some of the most delicious food I've had in Baja. Abigail also made us a delicious breakfast Sunday morning. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a very quiet place to stay while visiting Ensenada or the wineries.
Erick 2016-08-14T00:00:00ZMauricio and Abigail were great hosts. She had suggestions for places to eat and explore. The patio views are amazing, and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was wonderful. Also, the location was very convenient to see much of Ensenada and wine country.

The ocean views from this eighth floor Entremar condo are stunning and encompass the entirety of the bay surrounding Ensenada, and the condo itself is tastefully and comfortably furnished. We were pleasantly surprised by the dual master suites with private bathrooms, so this condo is an excellent option for families or groups of couples vacationing together. Rocio is a very courteous and helpful host, and we can't wait to return!
Nick2017-02-22T00:00:00ZRocio was a great host and the place was beautiful! It was so nice waking up to the waves every morning! Rocio provided nice recommendations and was very responsive to my questions. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to my friends!
Barry2017-01-29T00:00:00ZWhat can I say about this place, this condo has the most amazing ocean views! Its great to wake up to the sound of the waves every morning and its only minutes from the city and the wineries. Rocio was a great host and very responsive to our needs. We will stay here again and we are already recommending this place to our friends and family.
Art2016-12-30T00:00:00ZThe condominium is in excellent condition and has beautiful views of the ocean. It's located in a very safe area. The condominium is clean spacious, modern and comfortable. I will definitely go back and recommend it to my family and friends. It has a very cozzy and comfortable feeling.
Marta2016-11-14T00:00:00ZPerfect AirBNB! A lovely apartment that's far more bang for buck than any hotel would offer in this city. Very flexible. Had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Rocio's condo.
Ed2016-11-28T00:00:00ZGreat place with amazing views! The condo is new, spacious, modern and comfortable. I will definitely go back and recommend it to my family and friends.
Jorge2016-11-29T00:00:00ZThis place was absolutely stunning. The design inside was beautiful and inviting and the location could not of been better, right on the water. Waking up every morning to the sound of the ocean made for the perfect get away. It also was only about 35 mins from the wine valley which made it easy to go wine tasting during the day and make it back for the sunset! We will def be back! Thank you so much for having such a perfect place for us to call home for the weekend.

Alejandra2016-04-04T00:00:00ZWe arrived so late due to getting lost, and still were greeted by Maria with open arms. Our room was meticulously decorated, well kept, clean, and modern. Accommodations were that of a 4 star hotel. We had a personalized welcome note, bottle of local wine, water, and a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was perfect. We had eggs, fresh fruit, coffee, mushrooms, fresh squeezed orange juice, and tortillas. Maria and husband understands customer service and will accommodate to your needs. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Anyone who rates this any less than 5 star is most likely an unhappy human being, lol. We loved this trip. Thank you.
mike2016-04-06T00:00:00ZHad a wonderful stay at Maria Teresa's house! Safe neighborhood, ocean views, delicious home cooked breakfast, free wine & tequila... what more could you ask for? Stay here during your visit to Ensenada and Guadalupe Valley!
Kristen2017-01-02T00:00:00ZUna experiencia muy agradable, Ma Teresa y German se portaron muy amables, pareciera que ya teníamos tiempo de conocernos. Nos fue muy grato compartir un desayuno en casa preparado por ellos. La limpieza de cuarto muy bien, una cama muy cómoda, las sabanas tersas y frescas; invitaban a seguir durmiendo. Extraeordinaria vista al mar desde la casa, un bello jardín y excelente privacidad. Saben muy bien como hacerte sentir como en tu casa. Muchas gracias, estuvimos muy contentos y confortables.
Luis Miguel2016-09-28T00:00:00ZExcelente atencion por parte de Maria Teresa, la casa impecable y el desayuno muy rico

Shanwn and her dog, Godiva were so nice:) They welcomed us with nice wine. The room was clean, cozy and had ocean view, if you crack the window a little bit, you can hear the ocean sound in the night. Her "beach house" was secluded and also safe. The guard man at the gate will register every single person. Her place is also close to downtown Ensenada. So you can enjoy great seafood. Shawn is awesome, we can recommend this place to anybody and will definitely come back soon!!
Kana2016-12-29T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
RobertShawn welcomed us warmly and her home and location are as beautiful as she describes. We fell asleep hearing the waves crashing. That and the comfy bed helped us sleep like rocks. Its also a quick drive into town. Even though Shawn was sick, she offered up suggestions and was great to talk with. Thanks again, Shawn!
Benjamin2017-01-02T00:00:00ZIncredible location literally on the ocean with a decent break out front if you surf. Shawn is probably the nicest lady in Ensenada and goes out of her way to make the check in process and overall experience amazing. Parking is readily available and tons of great restaurants are just down the road.
Virgil2017-01-15T00:00:00ZShawn was awesome!! The views from her place are amazing and the sound of the ocean at night while we were sleeping was so soothing! Shawn gave us great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. She was super welcoming and made our stay very comfortable. Plus Godiva couldn't be any cuter and would wait for us to wake up and come home. We can't wait for our next trip to Ensenada and our next stay with Shawn. We have already recommended Shawn to our friends and would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Rayna2017-02-13T00:00:00ZBeautiful tranquil and lovely accommodations. Shawn was a wonderful host. Would definitely come again. She is a licensed aesthetician so we had amazing, and relaxing facials out on the beautiful deck listening to the ocean waves. Relaxing on the deck watching the sunset into the ocean is something of dreams. Would love to have that everyday! Home itself is clean and beautifully done by an award winning professional interior designer. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Five stars!!
Laura2017-01-01T00:00:00ZShawn greeted us at the door and instantly made us feel very welcomed. She provided advice on everything that we had questions on, such as restaurants, beaches, and even on driving in Ensenada and in Mexico during the gasoline protests. The listing description was accurate and beyond what I expected. Neighborhood was safe as can be. Will visit again!
Francisco2017-01-09T00:00:00ZWhat a great experience! Shawn was an awesome host. The ocean deck was amazing, great place to relax and have a drink. You can hear/see the ocean from the bedroom, it is very relaxing. In between sauzal and Ensenada, so you'll need to drive or Uber to go out. I would definitely recommend

Family of four had a great time at Sylvia's house near Ensenada. Worked really well for us, and this time we were happy to stay a bit outside of Ensenada and have a quiet night near the ocean. Thanks, Sylvia!
Peter and Marisa2017-02-20T00:00:00ZWe happened to visit on a very stormy weekend in Ensenada so it was unavoidable that it was a bit damp and cold. Sylvia and Sergio did quickly respond by bringing another space heater for us and were very quick to respond with our other questions as well. They were excellent hosts. Overall, we had a great stay. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with equipment and the parking was easy. Hands down the view was stunning out the front of the house. As was mentioned in the description this is a typical home for Mexico, not a 5 star resort.
Tami2017-01-22T00:00:00ZWOW!!! Virgina was relaxed and prompt in her communication and helping us get settled into the place. The house is WAAAYYY better then the pictures show. I will definitely be coming back!
Renae2016-12-09T00:00:00ZVirginia's house was incredible! The views and sounds were simply Perfect! Thank you for your kind hospitality. I will be back!
Jose2016-11-21T00:00:00ZVirginia made our first AirBNB venture so easy and enjoyable. She was very quick to respond to inquiries leading up to our trip and provided very thorough instructions which made our check-in super easy. Her home décor is funky and beautiful and the deck is a great place to enjoy the amazing view right above the water.
Angela2016-12-02T00:00:00ZIt's a nice place, pretty well located if you're thinking in visiting Valle de Guadupe, Ensenada or the breweries near el Sauzal. The views are amazing and it has all the services (water, internet, tv, kitchen -no microwave-) that you may expect for a confortable accomodation. It is quiet and you could have a good rest after a busy day (we all have pretty good sleep). There's a security guard in the entry of the condo's and supermarkets near the condo. As a plus if you like to exercise there's a good spot for jogging just in front near the sea.
Rafael2017-01-08T00:00:00ZThe house is located on cliff with direct view on the ocean. Needless to say the terrace is stunning. Though, the interior decoration isn't too much my cup of tea but the house was clean. The house is located in a gated community and the gatekeeper wants his share (10$ for "secured parking")
Berry2017-02-17T00:00:00ZThis place is a stunning breath of fresh air in Ensenada. It is cozy with its all brick operational wood burning fireplace and inspirational with it's gorgeous back patio overlooking the ocean, Bufadora and San Miguel. A clean and fully operational kitchen with all the essentials and two comfortable beds. As a resident of San Diego I hope to stay in this place for many visits to come! A quant night by a burning fire and a sunny morning with breakfast listening to the waves and staring out to the ocean is the perfect cure for just about anything!

Beautiful oceanfront view, 7 minute drive to central Ensenada, and the jacuzzi bathtub was very pleasant. The unit is part of the Quintas Papagayos vacation community, great value overall. I'd stay again. My only negative comment would be that the room smelled like cigarette smoke when we arrived, though we aired it out and the smell subsided. There was a (clean) ashtray in the room, which makes me think that it is a smoking room, but I don't remember if that was listed or not (I'm used to traveling in the States and not even checking/asking).
Benjamin2017-01-02T00:00:00ZBuena opción y gran vista!
Edgard Manuel2017-02-03T00:00:00ZEl lugar es increíble...
Mary Trini2016-12-28T00:00:00ZThis place is a small, gated area with many individual units. Our 2-story bungalow was great! We sat on the balcony and watched the sunset over the harbor every night we were there. Staff gave good recommendations to local restaurants and wineries.

Excelente la casa naranja en todos los aspectos, desde la limpieza hasta la ubicación, Laura siempre estuvo al pendiente de nuestra llegada, mi primera experiencia en Airbnb y ha sido muy grata, muchas gracias por la confianza!!
Alejandro2016-03-28T00:00:00ZStaying at Casa Naranja was great! The house was just as expected from the pictures and provides a wonderful space to relax and spend time with a group - the front deck was our favorite. Taking an uber between the house and downtown is quick and easy; we never waited more than 5 mins for a driver to pick us up at the house and the drive itself is very short. The surrounding neighborhood felt safe and has low activity - there are a few loud dogs in the neighborhood as some people have mentioned but I never heard them when going to bed and never found myself bothered by them in general. Overall everyone in our group loved staying here.
Sean2016-10-10T00:00:00ZLaura communicate with us at every step, even spoke to her father on the phone as soon as we got to the home, just checking in with us, which i thougth was very nice. The neighborhood is quiet and neighbors were friendly. Home is just as described, there was 7 of us and the home accommodated us, plenty of room, all 7 people agreed the home was just perfect.
Eddie2016-05-09T00:00:00ZMy group of 6 stayed at Laura's place for a girls' weekend together in Ensenada. Honestly, for the amenities provided, comfort and ease of communication, you won't find a better value-for-money place than this! With lots of room (and two large patios), it's a perfect spot for either a family, or group of friends holidaying together. Laura was great with checking in with us, making sure we had the instructions we needed and sending through suggestions. Although we didn't meet, I knew that she was only a message away. The home itself was well maintained and she even left a gift and Mexican snacks for us! There was also clean water available and lots of towels and linens for us to use. Our group really appreciated the garage, as it meant that we didn't have to worry about our car at night. As for the location, it really is 5-10mins out of town by car. Keep in mind that there isn't much within walking distance; you will want to catch an Uber or drive to get groceries, eat out etc. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and hope to return. Thank you, Laura!
Rosanne2016-08-01T00:00:00ZThis was the best AirBnb experience I've had. The house was fantastic – lovely, clean, homely and comfortable. It was only a 5 minute drive (or a ~$5 taxi/Uber) from the centre of Ensenada and a couple minutes walk from the sea. The area felt very safe, which was great because we were a bit nervous about crossing from California into Mexico. The owners gave us phenomenal local recommendations that really are the reason we had such a fantastic time (amazing food, bars, local attractions etc). I wholeheartedly recommend Casa Naranja and Ensenada for at least a visit for a couple days.
William2015-12-29T00:00:00ZLaura is a great host! Our family had a great time spending the weekend at Casa Naranja. Great location, about 5 minutes to the city and 15-20 minutes to El Valle. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly neighbors. The house is cosy and clean, with the weather being so nice we loved spending time out in the patio, relaxing on the hammock and we even used the fireplace during the night. Laura had everything we needed in the house, drinking water, essentials, etc. She also provides a notebook with her recommendations in the area, which is useful for anyone who hasn't visited the area before. She also checked in with us to make sure we found the house OK and that there were no problems. I would definitely recommend Casa Naranja!
Gabe2016-05-23T00:00:00ZLaura was a wonderful host! The house was beautiful with cute rooms and comfortable beds. The location is only a 5 minute car ride to downtown or a 45 peso taxi ride. Not only that but Laura knows a lot about the area and made some excellent suggestions about places to eat and cool local places to go. She even met us at UABC so she could show us how to get to the house, let us follow her into downtown, and made us a cute breakfast! Our group really enjoyed our stay.
Kayleen2015-07-27T00:00:00ZGreat stay overall. Laura is a great host. The house is in a great location and is in a safe neighborhood. I will definitely be be staying here again.

We had a great time at Jose's place. It was as advertised: clean, safe, a good location to downtown Ensenada and the view and setting were incredible. Jose was available to answer any questions we had and was a great host. I would definitely recommend this place and will stay again when I come back to Ensenada.
Dennis 2016-12-07T00:00:00ZExcellent stay! Great house, in a convenient location. Clean and fresh. Beautiful ocean views - inspiring. Jose was very accommodating and communicative.
Erica2016-09-25T00:00:00ZJosé's home was absolutely amazing. Immaculately clean, beautiful architecture and the view! WOW. Nothing like sleeping next to the ocean and hearing the waves all night. Very secure community and great location to access Ensenada and the Guadalupe Valley. Gracias, José!
Bree2016-11-25T00:00:00ZJose's place is sweet. It's wonderfully private- could sit out on the deck without any neighbors in view, the furniture is cozy and modern/clean, the area in a gated community is safe and it's easy to get around with Uber. There was only one review previously that was not perfect like the rest of them… but I realized after arriving that this review was not the reality. It might not have been as polished as the Ritz, but the place is charming, well put together and everything worked great. also- there is an excellent organic juice/food spot close by called la flor de la calabaza- incredible food and sweet people.
Dave2017-01-31T00:00:00ZThis oceanfront getaway is the perfect escape. The beautifully designed modern home is safely tucked away in a secure gated community with a 24hr guard. It offers everything you need (cooking supplies, COMFORTABLE BED/COUCH, blankets, towels, Netflix, etc) including a spectacular view. Jose was very friendly and responsive. We will definitely be going back to enjoy a little slice of paradise.
Brian (& Devon)2016-06-03T00:00:00ZThis container home is very unique and beautiful. The view is amazing from not just the deck but every room. It was so wonderfully peaceful to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of the waves. Jose was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. We had fun exploring Ensenada but as the day carried on we couldn't wait to get back just to enjoy the house and the view!
Amilamia2016-08-22T00:00:00ZJose accepted my last minute request in the afternoon and accommodated our arrival by that evening. He was very easy to communicate with, flexible and a warm host. I would absolutely stay with him again! The container is magical at sunset and wonderful to wake up to the sound of the ocean.
Diana2016-08-25T00:00:00ZWe had a fantastic time. Beautiful views right over the ocean! Super close to wine country too, we had a blast. Jose was very helpful with restuarant and wine tasting reccos. Thank you Jose.

Large ~450 sq ft and close to beach.
Evan2016-12-28T00:00:00ZGenial, tanto la casa como los anfitriones. Great house and hosts, highly recommended! Gracias Hector y Karla!
Sean2017-01-09T00:00:00ZHector's place was great, the location is very convenient, the beach 2 blocks away and everything from food , bars, pan dulce etc. within 10 mins of hectors place. We felt safe and comfortable. We will definitely be back !
Jacky2017-03-01T00:00:00ZHector and Karla were such warm and wonderful people. The house is very cute and clean. It is right next to the beach. Hector recommended delicious restaurants around Ensenada. I would visit again!
Erin2016-10-17T00:00:00ZStaying at Hector's and Karla's apartment in Playa Hermosa was a great pleasure. The apartment was absolutely beautiful, fully equipped and spacious, which made us feel at home and comfortable right away. Hector and Karla are amazing hosts with a hospitality that exceeds all expectations; offering us advice for our time in Ensenada, inviting us to (but never insisting on) shared dinners and activities. The location of the flat is very close to the beach and is in a nice neighborhood with great places to eat and buy food. We would definitely go there again and even extended our stay, because we just couldn't leave...
Leila2016-10-14T00:00:00ZHector and Carla were fantastic hosts, communicative and friendly. Hector helped us fix the hot water when it wasn't working and gave some advice for our road trip. I'd love to stay there again next time I'm in Ensenada!
Nicole2016-12-28T00:00:00ZHector and Karla are very very welcoming and accommodating. If we had any issues like needing a hair dryer they were responsive ! I felt very comfortable and safe staying on their property.
tisa2017-02-16T00:00:00ZExcelente lugar, excelente ubicación. Cuenta con más que lo necesario para una estancia cómoda y placentera. Muy recomendable.

Sergio had a great location. Very convenient to Ensenada and beautiful view of the ocean. Beds were comfortable and he had heaters to take the chill out of the air. Nice back patio as well. Sergio was very helpful in suggesting some great local restaurants and breweries. My son and I had a great stay!
Tom2017-02-01T00:00:00ZSergio was very responsive and helpful. I felt the place was overpriced for the actual facilities, and for neighborhood. You are essentially paying for the view, which is magnificent. And the sound of the ocean from the front bedroom (the only bedroom with a view) is lovely. While the view is magnificent and the place is well located between Ensenada and the wine route, the beach is not accessible except via the highway (as far as we could tell). The area where it is accessible was covered in trash. The facility is right off the highway, and has a semi-industrial feel to it. While the facility has pretty much everything you need, it is pretty bare bones and is a bit make-shift. The "third" bedroom is really just a large entry way - good for kids but not an adult couple.
Elana2017-01-01T00:00:00ZGreat ocean view. Spacious house. Would recommend for a family stay. Easy communication with host. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you Sergio!
Enrique2017-01-30T00:00:00ZThe condo is in a great location off the main road in a guarded & walled community of condos that are simple but RIGHT on the water! The view from the back patio is relaxing as it looks right at the waves below and is perfect for a BBQ, drinks & meals. The kitchen is fully equipped and the home has a great open feeling. The entry room could be used as a 3rd room with the pull out couch and secured doors. The main room with the ocean view had full drawers & closet to unpacking was a challenge while the back room had storage. The gas was out when we got there but Sergio had that fixed the next day (cold showers are not fun, especially for our wives!). The electricity was out when we returned one night but we found the breaker box and fixed that quick. Overall a good deal for the price but the listing wasn't updated with the guard & parking charges now applicable ($20/day). Sergio was responsive via e-mail but seemed to blame Mexico for the few inconveniences we faced. Hopefully these were flukes and the experience besides these were good!
Ian2017-02-14T00:00:00ZPerfect location in between the Valle and Ensenada! Finding the place was tricky but once I knew what we were looking for, it was great. The review below is wrong in parking is $20 for up to 7 days, not per day, really reasonable. Be sure to stop at Trailero close by for awesome tacos! My father and husband and I all slept very comfortably and you can't beat the view! Sergio, the property manager and all the gate guards were great!
Kelly2017-02-28T00:00:00ZWe had a great stay at this cute little house. Was so lovely to wake up with an ocean view, we felt right at home. Thanks!!!
Mallory2017-02-22T00:00:00ZDoesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is sweet, clean and has a beautiful view. The beds were very comfortable, the shower was great, the wifi worked well and we would definitely recommend it.
jennifer2017-03-05T00:00:00ZThis house was perfect! Clean, cute and comfortable. Location was great, less than a 5 minute drive to all the restaurants/shops downtown and about 30 minutes from the valle de Guadalupe wineries. The patio view was amazing, I wish I had more time to sit out there and enjoy the relaxing sound of the waves. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Sergio!

The apartment was all that we hoped for and more! Incredible views, loved the location. A very quiet and private place, with all the amenities you could possibly need to truly enjoy your stay. La casita is very clean, and secure. Elidé and Luis are excellent hosts, all their recommendations to enjoy Ensenada were very good. They are very friendly and available to answer any questions. Our stay at "La casita del mar" was very pleasant and we certainly recommend it to everyone who is planning to visit Ensenada.
Julio2017-02-10T00:00:00ZGreat location, steps from the beach where you can enjoy a beautiful sunset. The room was very comfortable and welcoming with adorable decor. Elide and her fiancé Luis were great hosts and very helpful with anything that was needed. Dog friendly as well!
Tanya2017-02-16T00:00:00ZAmazing location and fantastic hosts! They were attentive, helpful, friendly, and hospitable. Also, staying right on the beach was a win!

Juan Carlos y Lourdes son los mejores anfitriones que pudimos tener! La casa: Hermosa! La ubicación: Espléndida! El desayuno: El mejor! Los super recomiendo, no solo encontré un gran lugar para hospedarse, sino también muy buenos amigos!
Fernando2016-02-29T00:00:00ZJuan-Carlos and Lourdes are excellent hosts. They helped us find the best spots in Ensenada, cooked us wonderful food every morning, and were just generally nice to be around. This was a classic bed and breakfast experience (not the typical Airbnb where you have little to no contact with the host). Also, the view is spectacular. But be aware that the road up to the house is dirt and cobblestones (was difficult for my old Honda Civic).
Alex2016-03-28T00:00:00ZJuan Carlos and Lourdes are amazing, from the time you arrive to the time you leave you always feel welcomed and at home. The house is beautiful and the view well it's the beach what more can I say :) . I definitely will recommend this home to our friends make family whenever they need a place in Ensenada. Oh the breakfast is delicious as well.
jessica2016-07-22T00:00:00ZJuan Carlos and Lordes were the best hosts!! We arrived in Ensenada late at night and in order to make it easy for us to find the house, Juan met us at a gas station on the main road so that we could follow him the rest of the way up the dirt/cobblestone road to their house. Once we arrived they gave us a bottle of wine and immediately made us feel right at home. They then asked if we wanted to go out to the bars and when we said yes they offered to drive us downtown! So incredibly nice. The next morning they made us a delicious breakfast and we talked for a very long time over breakfast. It felt like talking to old friends! A great conversation. The house is beautiful as well as the bedrooms we stayed in. You can truly tell Lordes is an interior designer. Oh my goodness and the rooftop view!! So amazing. Staying with them made our stay in Ensenada quite perfect. They gave us many recommendations and were great to talk to. I plan to return!!
Brianna2016-05-07T00:00:00ZLourdes and Juan Carlos are great hosts and they make sure you have the best time in Ensenada. The house is beautiful exactly as you see it in the pictures, lovely place. Make sure to taste Lourdes's breakefast, you won't regret it :)
Pau2015-08-26T00:00:00ZJuan and Lourdes are very warm, and welcoming hosts. Their home is beautiful, and very clean. They take pride in their home, and you can see how well kept everything is, down to the last detail. We were traveling as a family of 2 adults, and a 2 yr old, and all of us felt right at home. Juan and Lourdes even played with our son as they would with their own kids or grandkids. The breakfast each morning was spectacular, authentic mexican food, that we truly enjoyed. Juan and Lourdes also gave great recommendations for touristy things to do, or places to eat at. Very safe and quiet neighborhood. The house overlooks the ocean. The actual beach is about 10 mins drive away. The downtown Ensenada is about 15-20 mins drive away.
Manjari2015-08-07T00:00:00ZMy wife and I stayed at Juan Carlos and Lourdes's apartment for a few nights and it was a picturesque bed and breakfast stay for us both. Every morning we could wake up in the hills and go outside on the patio and overlook the ocean, and the breakfast we were served was just amazing. The recommendations that they gave us for eating and drinking in both Ensenada and the Valle de Guadalupe were fantastic. We hired Juan Carlos to actually drive us around to the Valle wine locations throughout the days so that we did not need to worry about driving or getting lost, and he could not have been better to us when helping us get to locations or assist us in reservations. Everything was perfect and Juan Carlos and Lourdes were a big part of that. It was our first time to this area of Mexico and we will definitely be back and plan on staying with them again, and highly recommend anybody else to do the same.
Ryan2017-02-15T00:00:00Z5 star experience with Juan and his amazing wife Loudis. Every aspect of our stay was clean, well thought out and very accommodating. This is an A+ couple and AirBnb, if your looking to go to Ensenada or that area this is a perfect home base.

NancyThe place was spot on! Clean, well designed like the pictures. Beautiful place!
Jonathan2016-08-04T00:00:00ZPerfect place to stay in Ensenada. It is a few miles from the city center and located in a nice neighborhood. Totally safe around and super close to the beach. Safe street parking in addition to 3-4 parking spots on property. Walmart and Starbucks are within walking distance. The place is pretty fresh and has everything you need to stay with a group of friends and more. Jose is a great communicator and goes above and beyond. Thank you it was an amazing experience.
Алексей 2016-09-07T00:00:00ZOur stay at Jose's was great. The house is really beautiful with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Jose was quickly available to take care of any questions or problems we had. Neighborhood has great location 2 blocks from the beach.
Carlos2017-01-09T00:00:00ZIt was a great 3 nights vacation, Jose is responsive, and nice. The only issue we had - no pool towels, and we didn't bring ours... It's VERY cold at night in the winter, no hitter in the house, bring your own portable one. Thank you, Jose ;)

Amir2016-12-23T00:00:00ZNuestra estancia fue muy confortable y agradable! A toda mi familia les encantó. Muy limpio, céntrico, contaba con lo necesario y nos hizo sentir en casa.
YOLANDA2017-01-17T00:00:00ZWe loved staying at Arturo's condo! He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything that we needed and even acquired a hot spot for us so that my husband could continue to work. He answered all of our texts within minutes and immediately fixed any issues that we had. The only negative I would say is that the pool is freezing in the winter ;) But that was minor and my kids still enjoyed the playground. We felt very safe at the condo and didn't have any worries. The location is fantastic and the Walmart and Costco are about a 2 minute drive away. There's thousands of amazing taco stands and restaurants everywhere. We were very happy and would definitely stay there again if in Ensenada.
Pepe2016-12-18T00:00:00ZMuy buen host, muy limpio el departamento, nos recibieron excelente.
Tania2017-02-08T00:00:00ZAbsolutely loved Arturo's place. Everything was clean and it was plenty of room for all 7 of my friends and I. There is even cable tv and music channels. It's also very close to the supermarkets and an easy taxi or uber ride to downtown. Arturo answered all my messages super quick, and was there to greet us, show us how to work the alarm system and key, and even left a little pan dulce for us. Highly recommend!!!!
Lhea2017-01-25T00:00:00ZExcelente casa para descansar en Ensenada! Yo fui por motivos de trabajo pero aproveché también para disfrutar del viaje, y la casa es un lindo espacio para vivir/descansar. Tiene todo lo que necesitas para tu estancia, ideal para grupos grandes! 100% Recomendado, el trato, el espacio y las atenciones... Gracias Arturo!

the name Ganga or Ganges was given to the River Bhagirathi which originates at Gomukh.

Akash Ganga is the Hindu mythological equivalent of the Milky Way. Akash was convinced to come down from the heavens by King Bharigath. She descended into the locks of hair of Shiva and broke up into several channels. Thus in many paintings of Shiva, one can see the Ganga River issuing from his locks. Continue reading

[Young Adult Fiction (Ages 12-17)]
[Read by Julia Whelan]
Black Widow: Forever Red features all the heart-pounding adventure readers expect from Marvel, written by #1 New York Times bestselling author Margaret Stohl. Uncover a new side of the Marvel Universe that will thrill loyal fans and newcomers alike, as Stohl reveals the untold story of Black Widow for the very first time.
Enter the world of the Avengers' iconic master spy. -- Natasha Romanoff is one of the world's most lethal assassins. Trained from a young age in the arts of death and deception, Natasha was given the title of Black Widow by Ivan Somodorov, her brutal teacher at the Red Room, Moscow's infamous academy for operatives.
Ava Orlova is just trying to fit in as an average Brooklyn teenager, but her life has been anything but average. The daughter of a missing Russian quantum physicist, Ava was once subjected to a series of ruthless military experiments -- until she was rescued by Black Widow and placed under S.H.I.E.L.D. protection. Ava has always longed to reconnect with her mysterious savior, but Black Widow isn't really the big sister type. -- Until now.
When children all over Eastern Europe begin to go missing, and rumors of smuggled Red Room tech light up the dark net, Natasha suspects her old teacher has returned -- and that Ava Orlova might be the only one who can stop him. To defeat the madman who threatens their future, Natasha and Ava must unravel their pasts. Only then will they discover the truth about the dark-eyed boy with an hourglass tattoo who haunts Ava's dreams . . .
Margaret Stohl is a lifelong science fiction fan, former video game designer, and coauthor of the New York Times bestselling Beautiful Creatures series. Beautiful Creatures is now a major motion picture. She lives in Los Angeles with her family.

... sickness is "suffering", but only when we refuse the condition
old age, if we long for youth
death, because we cling to life
loss is "suffering", when we cannot let go
... violated expectations, when we wish life otherwise
Thus, in Zazen, learn to live a way of life accepting, embracing, allowing, fully flowing as, celebrating a life of inevitable sickness, getting old, someday dying ourself or letting go of those we love, ups and down, gains and losses, sometime wins and sometime defeats ...
... cast them all into the great dance of Emptiness, and dance along ...
... learn to live with such total allowing and acceptance even as you cry sometimes, moan sometimes, are sad or grieving or depressed sometimes ...
and thus (as humans do) you may still feel days of sadness, fear, loneliness or hurt ... but also Joy, Peace, Satisfaction, Wholeness and Completeness ... AT ONCE! ...
... you will feel times of pain like an aging buddha did ... but also Total Liberation from Dukkha, from Suffering.
Thank you, Jundo.
Thanks Jundo: I had seen this video before, but today, after the news that my mother will be going through studies for possible stomach cancer, I have felt much better. Gassho, and Blessings
Thanks to Ricky and Simon for resurrecting this thread and having it pop up on my screen, especially today.
Yesterday, I raked leaves, did some vacuuming, transferred some freezables from the garage to the basement and got a flu shot. Today my arm aches from where a nice nurse poked it with a needle and put a Snoopy band aid on. My back is extremely painful from some extra activity and left knee refuses to work. Jundo has asked me several times to write something about growing old. Well, the time has come and here it is; It sucks !! [too much] But, don't let me turn you off. There are many reasons to be grateful. Even though friends die (there is no one other than my step-mother who only became that when I was in my twenties and could be a tad forgetful in her 80s, that can tell you about me when I was a kid), and my immediate family members have all died, that's maybe not all that bad. There'll be no one to correct my memoirs. and, one advantage I have over most of you is I no longer need to worry whether I'll live to 75.
Seriously, there is much to be grateful for. i truly enjoy watching people grow and learn; even blossom. One thing I am most grateful for is having gone back to school in my fifties. I literally lived with a bunch of kids and made some great friends that make my thinking young. Or, maybe it's just that it gave my entire being a kick start.
So, don't get discouraged, keep on keeping on. There are lots of things to fix and change. Remember not to take life or yourselves too seriously. and I'll be waiting for you when you get there.
I know this is an old thread but I just wanted to say thank you for helping to change my perspective for the better.
Thank you again,
Sat today
I've had several small disappointments in this past week. I was starting to spin stories about them. This thread and video helps me let it go and see beauty in life even when feeling disappointed. Thank you, Jundo, for this teaching, and everyone else for posting. I'm glad this thread was bumped up.

Discovery John Couch Adams, Cambridge mathematician, predicted the existence of an unseen planet. Uranus was being pulled slightly out of position in its orbit (1845). His work was ignored by the Royal observatory Greenwich Until a French mathematician, Urbain Leverrier, published a similar prediction. Search started in July 1846 lead by Prof. Challis at Cambridge university Leverrier with the help of Johann Galle at Berlin Observatory found the planet on the 23rd September 1846 Leverrier and Adams are now jointly credited with their "discovery"
Neptune Discovered in 1846 at position predicted from gravitational disturbances on Uranus' orbit. Blue-green color from methane in the atmosphere 4 times Earth's diameter; 4 % smaller than Uranus
Neptune is a cold, bluish world with Jupiterlike atmospheric features No white ammonia clouds are seen on Neptune Presumably the low temperatures have caused almost all the ammonia to precipitate into the interiors of the planets All of these planets' clouds are composed of methane Much more cloud activity is seen on Neptune than on Uranus.
Appearance Neptune shows color variation in bands Also, As season progresses, southern bands brighten (near IR)
The Atmosphere of Neptune Cloud-belt structure with high-velocity winds; origin not well understood. Darker cyclonic disturbances, similar to Great Red Spot on Jupiter, but not long-lived. The "Great Dark Spot" White cloud features of methane ice crystals
Composition 79% H 2 18% He 3% CH 4 Traces of N 2, HCN, H 2 S, NH 3, CO
Neptune's Banded Structure
Keck AO Infrared image No more Great Dark Spot Dynamic weather patterns Wind speed up to 1500 km/h (half the speed of sound)
Zonal Winds Far fewer bands than on Jupiter and Saturn Neptune -300m/s(0 o ), 0(±50 o ), 225(±75 o ) Less sunlight = less turbulence = flow less disturbed
Clouds methane ice (CH 4 )<1bar (limit of probing) Probably have: Methane droplets? hydrogen Sulfide (H 2 S)2-5bar more H 2 S, so no NH 3 clouds? NH 4 hydrosulfide (NH 4 SH)15-30bar water15-50bar
Neptune's Clouds Much more cloud activity is seen on Neptune than on Uranus
High altitude clouds
Great Dark Spot Comparable in size to GRS Storm? (1200mph, counterclockwise rotation, anticyclone) Below the tropopause Moved towards equator, dissipated, new one formed in the northern hemisphere
Great Dark Spot Hole in the methane droplet cloud deck? Like the ozone hole over Antarctica?
The Dark Spot
Neptune contains a higher proportion of heavy elements than Jupiter and Saturn Neptune may have a rocky core surrounded by a mantle of water and ammonia Electric currents in the mantles may generate the magnetic fields of the planets Internal Structure of Neptune
Interior Structure Ice and rock in core (same size than Earth –Not enough pressure to force hydrogen into metallic hydrogen –Off-axis and offset magnetic field probably due to polarized water or ammonia dissolved in water in outer core
Neptune's Structure Similar composition than Jupiter: 84% H and 14% He, CH 4 (3%) (blue color). No NH 3 since T condensation = 70 K and T outtermostplanets ~58 K Far more atmospheric activity than Uranus b/c of Interior heat (3 times more energy) + less haze –Modest axial tilt may allow for more atmospheric mixing –Storm activity seen and seems to change
The magnetic field of Neptune is oriented at an unusual angle The magnetic axis of Neptune is steeply inclined from its axis of rotation The magnetic and rotational axes of all the other planets are more nearly parallel The magnetic field of Neptune is also offset from the center of the planet The magnetic field of Neptune
The Rings of Neptune Made of dark material, visible in forward- scattered light. Interrupted between denser segments (arcs) Focused by small shepherd moons embedded in the ring structure. Ring material must be regularly re-supplied by dust from meteorite impacts on the moons.
Neptune has a system of thin, dark rings
Ring Arcs
The Moons of Neptune Two moons (Triton and Nereid) visible from Earth; 6 more discovered by Voyager 2 Unusual orbits: Triton: Only satellite in the solar system orbiting clockwise, i.e. "backward". Nereid: Highly eccentric orbit; very long orbital period (359.4 d).
Neptune has 13 satellites, one of which (Triton) is comparable in size to our Moon or the Galilean satellites of Jupiter Triton has a young, icy surface indicative of tectonic activity The energy for this activity may have been provided by tidal heating that occurred when Triton was captured by Neptune's gravity into a retrograde orbit Triton has a tenuous nitrogen atmosphere Triton is a frigid, icy world with a young surface and a tenuous atmosphere Neptune's Satellites
Triton Probably a captured Kuiper belt object: orbiting Neptune opposite Neptune's direction of rotation. Smaller than Earth's Moon, yet has recent geological activity.
The Surface of Triton → Triton can hold a tenuous atmosphere of nitrogen and some methane; 10 5 times less dense than Earth's atmosphere. Very low temperature (34.5 K) Surface composed of ices: nitrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide. Possibly cyclic nitrogen ice deposition and re-vaporizing on Triton's south pole, similar to CO 2 ice polar cap cycles on Mars.
The Surface of Triton Ongoing surface activity: Surface features probably not more than 100 million years old. Large basins might have been flooded multiple times by liquids from the interior.

Ghost Squad Wii
- Release Date: Nov 20, 2007
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
For light gun fans Ghost Squad is a must play though, and at $30 it won't break the bank to purchase this one. At the end of the day, Ghost Squad is simply a fun arcade experience, and certainly worth a look.
A deliberate '90s-arcade-game charm and some ridiculous non sequiturs give this incredibly brief light gun shooter an odd appeal.
Fun and nostalgic, Ghost Squad delivers hardcore action at a sweet $30 price tag.
The amount of content is a bit disappointing. Three levels just aren't enough nowadays, despite a handful of variations on each. The fact that they play out exactly the same way every time doesn't help, either. Playing through solo or with a buddy is definitely worth an afternoon, though, regardless of the game's relatively short legs.
Ghost Squad is a culmination of hits and misses, forming a package that succeeds because of its quirky charm and traditional gameplay.
Most first-person shooters are over after 10-15 hours. It'll be at least twice that before you see all that Ghost Squad has to offer. Its brevity on paper is not a curse, but a blessing.
At around 30 bucks, Ghost Squad is a great addition to your library if, and only if, you are into light-gun games that aren't heavy on the realism (ie, most of them). It's absurd and comical, and those aren't necessarily bad things. In our case, we certainly had no trouble laughing our way through some surprisingly entertaining light-gun action.
As things stand, not only does Ghost Squad feel completely archaic on a number of levels, it offers very poor value for money.
While it lasts, though, the game is a fun and enjoyable way to blow off some steam; light-gun junkies should definitely take a look at this one.
While they've done a good job of giving you many reasons to replay those levels for higher scores and more unlockables, replaying these levels many times over will barely bring the game's total length to more than a few hours. This bumbling groundhog should have seen its shadow much sooner and ushered in a much longer springtime full of rail-shooting joy.
Games Master UKA really pleasant surprise. The Wii is fast becoming the home of unpretentious thrills. [Jan 2007, p.73]
Despite the enemy repetition, you'll insist on plowing throw the stages repeatedly, trying to attain a high score in order to build up your inventory of unlocked items. Between the friendly price tag ($30) and no need for additional lightgun add-ons, it's an enticing value.
games(TM)With so many ways to customise your experience, and the addictive allure of the online high-score tables, Ghost Squad is a game you'll return to long after more epic adventures have been and gone. [Feb 2008, p.124]
Edge MagazineWhile many players will tire of the gamelong before its last secrets are handed out, its simplicity makes it a strangely compelling experience. [Jan 2008, p.87]
If you like shooting terrorists who look like they walked off the set of "The A Team", and really who doesn't, then Ghost Squad will provide plenty of enjoyable, mindless fun.
It's a game that has the potential to be played for hours and hours if you want to go for high scores and all the unlockable items, but many gamers may find the 20-minute campaign to be far too short.
AceGamezThis is throwaway fun that will only be enjoyed in short bursts and the novelty will wear off long before you unlock everything and max out the missions to their highest level.
It's funny for a minute or two, but still… thirty bucks is a lot for three levels and a few giggles.
Ghost Squad is a short and Arcady kind of shooter that is pretty nice. But the price is too high for the normal graphics and thin content.
Nintendo PowerThe game is no masterpiece, but if you're in the mood for some mindless, old-school entertainment, it's $30 well spent. [Holiday 2007, p.82]
If you're looking for a cheap Wii shooter and have some friends around, give this a go. If not, stick to the arcades. You'll find better there.
Ghost Squad isn't a revolution, or even an evolution of the arcade light gun shooter. The game is simple to play and the addition of a few Wii bonus options does add a little more to the package.
Ghost Squad is fun while it lasts, whether you're playing by yourself or with friends. The problem is that it lasts less than an hour. If you're the type who plays to perfection and see yourself going back again and again for unlockables, it's worth a look.
Official Nintendo Magazine UKBetter than being in the arcades and with more extras than an all-you-can-eat buffet, Ghost Squad gets a high five from us. Future shooters take note: the bar has been set high. [Feb 2008, p.68]
As long as you're prepared to get nothing more than a very good, very short arcade shooter, you'll find a lot of value in this package. It's quick, it's explosive and it's great fun.
Sega's Ghost Squad takes less than an hour to beat and features plenty of insignificant extras. But instead of overcharging you, the company budget priced its arcade shooter $30, $10 more that it's worth.
I've always been a fan of bringing the arcade experience home; it's how our gaming industry started. Ghost Squad does a great job of letting you play the classic arcade shooter and even throws in a few extras no one saw coming.
So while Ghost Squad is a perfectly reasonable lightgun shooter which only significantly falls short in terms of its length, what really sticks in our collective craw is the price. Asking thirty quid for it would be a piss take at the best of times, but considering the US version is being sold for the same figure in dollars, making it around £15 in real money, that's quite frankly unacceptable.
Seems stupidly short at first, but then you start unlocking things and realise how much there is in there to get before you can claim you've finished. Online leader boards mean you're going to want to keep competing for a while.
It looks and sounds ok, but one play through and you've seen all you need to see. Mindless blasting can be fun, but this is soulless blasting.
Arcade nuts that simply cannot live without Ghost Squad in their collection should be prepared to receive nothing but a strictly shallow gaming experience, while everyone else would be well advised to consider spending their hard-earned cash on Capcom's far superior Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.
A pleasing journey through various sections and routes, but even the quirky unlockables and increased difficulty isn't quite enough to make Ghost Squad as satisfying as it should be.
Whether you'll like Ghost Squad or not comes down to how you enjoy light gun games.
It has nigh-on perfect aiming, hilarious and fun levels, longevity through skill progression and variety not normally seen in an arcade game.
It's difficult to recommend Ghost Squad. The action is exciting and the shooting is enjoyable, especially with the Wii Zapper, but the extremely short lifespan and primitive visuals lower the score.
An addictive arcade port with loads of unlockables which works perfectly with the Wii Zapper.
The uncomplicated, quick-hit arcade feel of the game is a nice fit for the Wii, even if the coin-op legacy sometimes makes the gameplay a little dusty.
A solid on-rails shooter, although somewhat archaic, it's still very enjoyable. Mindlessly shooting terrorists without having to think it always a great option, with the only flaw being the price.
Maxi Consolas (Portugal)Sega had the obligation to work harder on this conversion, at least with new levels for the game, since the three maps aren't event connected between them. Being as it is, Ghost Squad is a mere conversion, feeling incomplete in form and substance. [March 2008]
n-Revolution Magazine UKGreat, throwaway fun. Ghost Squad won't last forever, but you'll return for a quick blast on multiplayer. [Issue#17, p.70]
Ghost Squad is fairly recent game, however it lives on past glories. There's not much game here compared to House of the Dead 2 & 3, but with 4 friends Ghost Squad provides hours of entertainment normally only available for a pound a time each in Alton Towers.
It would have been improved immensely by true, accurate aiming, but even without it's always a good time blowing away terrorists and earning new weapons for the next play-through.

Found a couple of small things I hadn't done in #exist for #ios today, but background #healthkit updates are going well! Expecting to release the first #applehealth #sleep beta this week.
March 2017
Seems like #exist for #ios is updating #healthkit data in the background fairly regularly now. Fingers crossed it stays that way. After a little more testing to make sure the updating works well I'll send it out to beta testers for the first round of #applehealth #sleep testing.
Also worked a little on #larder for #ios this afternoon. It's frustrating how slow I am when using #swift still.
Left #exist for #ios alone over the weekend to see how well my #healthkit background updating would work. Today I had a look at the logs and it looks like all my data is updating without me opening the app, but not as often as I'd like. A change I made to stop duplicate updates occurring seems to be stopping a lot of non-duplicate updates getting through, so I had to try a different approach to de-duping the updates. I also noticed the app is getting a lot of "Network connection lost" errors when trying to send requests. Not sure what that's about yet, as I haven't been able to reproduce those errors to debug them. Still, getting closer and closer to releasing the #applehealth #sleep update to beta testers!
Yesterday I tried using beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler
to ask #ios to give my app more time to complete tasks in the background. This seems to have fixed the #exist for iOS bug @josh and I have been struggling with for a week now. Certain calls, usually when my app was in the background, were taking ages and eventually timing out during the handshake stage with the server. It seems like it was actually iOS killing the tasks, but I don't know why it was taking so long to do so. I didn't try this beginBackgroundTask
method earlier because everywhere I've seen it mentioned it seems to be used for continuing tasks in the background that were started in the foreground, which isn't what I'm doing, but it seems to have worked anyway! #laterlog
Spent a very frustrating afternoon with @belle trying to debug an esoteric timeout issue between her #ios app and the #exist server. For some reason, in certain conditions, all of her requests to the server hang for like 30 seconds, and then time out in the "ssl handshake" stage (verified on the server). I can't find anyone else with this issue, and we tried a bunch of different things to fix it but were basically stabbing in the dark. To top it off, it's not even consistent — requests made while the app is in the foreground do work, and occasionally the background ones do also. And browsers and the Android client don't have issues. Just iOS. Argh! I'm out of ideas. Maybe if I wish hard enough it'll magically fix itself…
Aaaargh #applehealth! I've had the majority of the #sleep integration in #exist for #ios done for days now, but I've been fighting with getting the background observers working. I can't watch the logs run in realtime, because I'm testing for #healthkit waking up my app in the background and telling it to send new data to Exist, and it won't do it every time I add new data, because it wants to save battery. So I'm stuck adding data and waiting an hour or so before grabbing the log file to see if anything happened.
Fixed a bug in #exist for #ios today that was causing the app to crash when users turned on location tracking for the first time. Also continued some refactoring of #healthkit code in an effort to get background observers working for #applehealth #sleep and other HealthKit data. The idea is that iOS will notify my app when the user syncs new data to Apple Health, rather than me checking for it regularly. Still trying to get that working for activity data, but it seems to be working well for sleep so far.
So the #applehealth #sleep integration in #exist for #ios is pretty much done! Apart from lots and lots of testing and probably fixing lots of bugs, of course.
Woo! Got #customtracking working in a hacky way in #exist #android. Solved some minor issues with that on the server side, and then verified all works as it should. The next step will be to actually make a nice UI for adding and tracking various custom habits and events, and at some point I'll deploy the backend stuff to the live server so we can test it for real with some beta testers.
I also spent some time helping @belle figure out more #ios #healthkit sleep logic. Getting closer!
Making great strides today with #applehealth #sleep integration in #exist for #ios! Thanks to some help from @josh last night I got on the right track and today I figured out why I wasn't adding up all the sleep data per day correctly. I fixed that, and also added some code to check what the longest period of "time in bed" is per day, so I can get bedtime and wake time from that record, in case there are multiple "time in bed" periods. I also added a check to make sure I only use data from one app per day, so if users record data from multiple apps for the same day I'll just take the first app's data and ignore the rest so they don't get doubled-up data in Exist.
February 2017
First pass of the #exist #customtracking backend done today. Didn't get time to make the custom Android client that can talk to it, ended up spending the evening helping @belle sort out some sleep logic for #healthkit stuff in #ios. Healthkit is like a dumb database returning low-level records, rather than giving a nice daily summary, so it's much more akin to the crappier APIs I've had to integrate (cough-withings-cough) than the lovely ones like Fitbit's. We'll also have to implement custom de-duplication as healthkit won't prevent multiple apps adding overlapping sleep records. Super fun times!
More work on #location fixes in #exist for #ios today. Really hanging out to get onto some performance improvements soon, thanks to inspiration from #playgroundscon, but I have to finish the #applehealth #sleep integration first. Always more to do…
Still slogging away at #HealthKit refactoring in #exist for #ios as well as adding sleep data from Apple Health. Got some help from @josh to help me figure out the best ways to make my HealthKit code as generic and simple as I can, and after implementing his suggestions I've probably cut about half the code involved in the Apple Health integration. I'm expecting lots of bugs to work through, but really happy about cleaning this up, as it's definitely been the most complicated, messy code in the app.
Today I sent out the January edition of #themonthlyreview and did some admin for #hellocode. I also did a little more work on my #applehealth sleep branch in #exist for #ios, but I'm trying to simplify all my HealthKit code at the same time as adding sleep data, so there's quite a bit to do.
Not a lot to report today, except that I started a new branch in #exist for #ios, ready to tackle #AppleHealth sleep data, which we're always getting requests for. I expect It'll be a painful few weeks (or longer) getting this working and bug-free, but I'm really looking forward to giving users what they want so they can ask us for something else :)
Worked on the login process for #larder for #ios and some refactoring. Tried AppCode again, since it's been a year or more since I gave it a shot, but I like to use a dark theme for coding and AppCode makes all my fonts look bold when it's in dark theme. I thought this problem might have been fixed, but it hasn't and it's really bugging me. Plus, AppCode makes my computer hot and noisy because it struggles to run such a big Java app. Undecided for now, but not sure I'll stick with it long-term.
What a week! Spent the past three days feeling stupid, frustrated, and confused, because I couldn't get this new year ago mood feature working in #exist for #ios. Grappled with two different third-party libraries that didn't work as I expected them to and roped @josh into an afternoon of helping me debug my #autolayout issues before giving up and building the UI myself from scratch.
This afternoon I managed to get the whole UI built and working with some more help from @josh, so now I can test it out. Hopefully I'll be able to send this out to beta testers this week.
Spent most of yesterday afternoon debugging an issue in #exist for #ios affecting a couple of users. For some days (but not all), their steps and distance data from #AppleHealth (but not any other data) was super low and incorrect. Lucky @josh was able to help me debug it because I got really stuck and wouldn't have figured it out by myself.
Turns out the issue was due to me asking HealthKit for data for each day up to midnight for the following day, which sometimes included a tiny number of steps and distance right in that first second of the following day. Once we figured out why I was getting the extra data (totally my fault) and how to exclude it from the results I was sending to the Exist API, the fix didn't take long. And thankfully Apple approved the update overnight, so it's already in the App Store. I think that's the quickest I've ever had an update go through Apple review. #laterlog
January 2017
Yesterday I did some more work on #exist for #ios. I'm still working on building in the new feature to show your mood note and rating from this day a year ago after you submit a mood rating for today. I wanted to re-use layout code for the mood note and rating UI but being the n00b I am, I hadn't made my old code generic enough, so I spent a good chunk of yesterday afternoon decoupling my code and making it more generic. #laterlog
Yesterday I cleaned up my extra #exist for #ios #git branches and started a new one for a feature that's been in the Android app for a while—your mood rating and note from this day a year ago. Started working on the API call after you rate today to check if you have a rating and note to show from a year ago. Still need to finish this off and add the UI to show the data to the user.
Yesterday I sent a new version of #exist for #ios to the App Store. It has a bunch of bug fixes, so it'll be good to have that out in the wild.
Also sent some emails this week to set up a new #Larder #blog #interview or two. A couple of responses so far, so I'm hoping I'll get at least one new blog post out of those. #content
I pretty much have the new data tab in #exist #android complete, but I want to add some interactivity and hide some stuff by default so you can drill down into it.
Today I did some overdue #support tickets instead though, and later tonight I set up macOS in a vm on my pc so I can build some #ios apps. I do have a macbook, but I'd rather be at my pc. I actually got that running with few issues, and I can build apps in xcode without it taking too long — performance seems decent. I'm going to have a go at learning #swift to build the #larder iOS app. I don't really want to steal it from @belle, but she has enough on her plate already.
So far this week I've been mainly working on bug fixes in #exist for #ios and some small refactoring to make my code simpler and easier to maintain. I have a couple of new features on my to-do list to bring the app up to par with @josh's Android version, so I'm hoping to have all the bug fixes done soon so I can get on with those.
Changed my #rescuetime hours this week to be 4 hours every morning so I have afternoons off for #HelloCode. I was finding it hard to be totally switched off from Hello Code for 3 days a week, and to plan everything I need to do for RescueTime in just 3 days. This setup seems to work better.
Last week I sent a new update of #exist for #ios to the App Store with some bug fixes and some different bug fixes to my beta testers. I also wrote a new post for the #larder blog about why I blog about my code even though I'm not an expert.
Since I'm working Mon, Tue, Wed at #rescuetime now I probably won't have many early-week logs. But Thursdays and Fridays are #HelloCode days so here's a #laterlog for yesterday:
- Paid my latest #tax instalment
- Cleared out my inbox (mostly)
- Followed up most of the #changemap tasks for #exist that came in over the past week
- Wrote up the Hello Code monthly report for December and drafted a matching #blog post
- Worked on bug fixes for #exist for #ios, sent a new version to TestFlight, and tried to submit a new version to the App Store but iTunesConnect was broken yet again.
December 2016
A very late #laterlog to mention that @josh and I spent all afternoon Sunday #pairprogramming to implement a new feature in #exist for #ios: in-app notifications! We've had these for a while in the web app, so users are alerted when we've made a major change like adding a new feature or integration, but not on mobile. Josh recently added them to the Android app and was kind enough to help me get them done on iOS in an afternoon. Just need to do some testing now, but hopefully I'll be able to release a small update with this feature included soon!
Update on #changemap on betalist: around 30 waiting list signups in the first day (which will probably be the biggest). Not too bad given the minimal effort. Mostly smallish SaaS startups, based on some email domain browsing. Hopefully people who understand the value of paying for stuff!
Helped @belle with thinking through some #ios stuff this afternoon, and maybe tomorrow we'll do some pair programming on adding the notification screen to match the Android app.
My passion for working on #exist for #ios has been reignited! I sent out the latest update including lots of new Apple Health data (workouts, nutrition, active minutes, heart rate) to the App Store this week, so I'm just waiting for it to be reviewed.
For some reason we had a bunch of users all asking us for menstrual tracking over the past week or so, and it's something I've always planned to get from #healthkit but haven't gotten to yet. So after sending out that update I was really motivated to explore getting menstrual data from Apple Health. Exist doesn't support it yet but I've started working on getting the data anyway. I think my motivation really wanes when I'm working on bug fixes. It's a very slow, difficult, lonely process for me, and I often struggle to replicate bugs and feel like updates just get stuck in limbo for ages while I worry about how to fix all the bugs. But starting a new feature is always fun and exciting—and a lot faster these days than it was a couple years ago!
