This place was absolutely immaculate. I swear Chip has some mild OCD because he keeps the place so clean all the time (he won't have any problems if you make a mess either, not that you should).
Chip cares about the comfort of his guests a lot, more than most hosts in my opinion. He provides anything that you would need if you just got off of a plane with nothing but a carry-on bag. Blankets, toilet paper and paper towels, bath towels, even soap and shampoo is in the bathroom for you.
He cleans the bathroom regularly and keeps it immaculate. You will share the bathroom with the person in the other room that he's renting out and no one else. He goes out of his way to make sure that any guests that he brings over himself use HIS bathroom in his room, as to not intrude on your space.
Chip gives you your own shelf in the fridge and freezer, your own cabinet, and he has plenty of kitchen amenities available for use (pots, pans, etc.) I would cook multiple times every day and it was no problem. He has a laundry machine as well.
I had my own parking spot as wel, which was awesome. There's an Aldi's literally across the street as well.
Sometimes, rarely, the neighbors could be a little noisy, but chip offers unlimited earplugs in case you run into this. He also has a blackout curtain in the room if you want to sleep during the day, and the bed was comfortable.
The wifi is great, perfect for online gaming (Call of Duty, Fortnite, etc.) and I know what I'm talking about when I say that. This internet was actually high speed, 99% of the time. There's also a tv in your room already and all the furniture you would need. The whole layout is super convenient.
There's a keypad on the door with a code on it, so no one can enter the room when you lock it but you.
You can also order packages to the apartment as well. Amazon is familiar with his specific address.
Overall, this room was a fucking steal. The price is fucking fantastic. It was so good, in fact (and Chip saved me so much money), that I tipped him 100$ on the way out.
As long as you don't rely on a nocturnal sleep schedule, you'll be fine. The area is relatively quick compared to 99% of San Diego, but they do loud yardwork on the property at around 9 in the morning and sometimes the neighborhood kids are loud. Regardless, I didn't have a problem once I used the earplugs.
Chip is definitely not a dick. He is incredibly helpful and genuinely wants your stay to be as smooth as possible. He is a very proficient host. If you've never used Airbnb before, this is a great place to start.
I was skeptical of living in a stranger's house myself, but Chip made it feel very much like it was my own place, saved me a lot of money too.
5 out of 5, would recommend.
