I hate to leave a critical review, but feel like I would have appreciated knowing these things before choosing this rental…and I also think these items should be very clear upfront from the hosts. Not disclosing them is not transparent and shows a lack of care.
First, the positive:
1. Ideal location for Ocean Beach. Close to the ocean, shops, and restaurants.
Here’s the rest:
1. It was not clear that this home is directly beneath a flight path. The planes start at 6:20am EVERY morning, so loud it wakes you up every morning-not ideal for a vacay. Sometimes, there’s an errant plane that takes off even earlier! One time at 5:30 am. I can’t emphasize enough that if you stay here, expect to be woken up every morning by loud planes flying overhead every morning. I think it’s important to share this upfront with guests. It’s not a minor detail and not cool at all that it wasn’t.
2. It seems there’s no central heat? It certainly wasn’t working. Would be nice to know in the winter months…so had to use little heating fans.
3. General upkeep…many pieces of furniture are broken (shower rod, bed…) or very old and just worn down furniture in general. It’s pretty tacky-not shabby chic…it’s shitty chic. Makes for a less then ascetically appealing experience.
Would not stay here again.
