I very much enjoyed my stay! It was a perfect location for surfing at Pacific Beach and exploring local eateries. And Katie was a kind, responsive host. I needed a full-length mirror to check my outfit for a wedding and a dehumidifier to try to help with an odd smell that permeated the room when I arrived (seems like it was unusually humid that week) and I really appreciated her offering those items and bringing them so quickly.
I am not sure I would stay again, though, just because of a few personal preferences that I'll discuss here in case it's helpful to others: (1) there's a walkway for other units right outside the guest room so you'll hear people walking by pretty close to your bed, and depending on how you feel about privacy I could definitely see them so they might see you; (2) there's a family living above the unit so there was a bit of walking overhead in the mornings; (3) I am an absolute baby about spiders and it seems like a few visited me - a couple had made their way to the bed and I ended up pulling the bed away from the wall and lifting the oversized comforter from the floor to make sure nothing could use the bedding as a ladder to my slumber pad. I don't think these are necessarily things to bother the host about (families gotta live, too!) but if you're particular about noise or bugs, maybe consider a different space. Other than that I had a great stay!
