We stayed at Gerardo's Airbnb with 4 adults and 5 children. We slept comfortably in the 4 bedrooms and were able to split the bathrooms between the 2 families. It is small for that many people but it served it's purpose as a base for our vacation. The common space is small, but we found the kids could play in the bedroom that is off of the dining space. It is the largest room and is carpeted. So the kids could sprawl out with their toys and games while the adults hung out in the dining/TV room.
The house was well stocked for our needs. We had a good amount of cookware and dining ware, the coffee maker and creamers were appreciated. Everything was easy to find and easy to navigate. The TV system was well set up. Towels and bedding were clean and comfortable. We also appreciated and used the beach chairs and boogieboards and umbrellas. Those were great b/c we came to San Diego with the beach in mind.
It is San Diego, so central AC isn't typical in those homes. We traveled end of July/beg of August, so we had some heat. The house would heat up with cooking, and it was stuffy when we came back home. But if you open the windows and run the fans, it would cool off. Also, as a vacation by the beach, we would have hoped to have a working washer and dryer. Unfortunately it was out of service during our stay.
We do have a complaint. The floors were filthy. They were sticky and with one swipe of a napkin, the napkin was black. If we walked barefoot, our feet were immediately soiled. The kitchen cabinets were also sticky and not cleaned - crumbs on the inside and sticky on the outside. The lack of good cleaning really brought our review of this place down. Esp during COVID when thorough cleaning is expected and important.
Overall, the airbnb served it's purpose as an affordable place to stay while vacationing with friends in San Diego. Gerardo was a strong communicator and was easy to get in touch with when we needed to. Hopefully he can get the place cleaned up better and we would recommend the place.
