This was perfect size for a group of 12 friends visiting San Diego. If you ask for early check in be aware that the cleaners may not do as thorough of a job then. The no partying rule in place makes sense as this is located in a neighborhood. If you are respectful of the neighbors and don’t blast music all day and night this shouldn’t be a problem for your group. If that’s not your plan I would recommend somewhere closer to the beach as it seemed more “party” type there. Matthias was a great host and very responsive. There was an issue with the hot tub not bubbling- the heat worked for both the hot tub and pool- just no jets. Matthias sent out the management company who wasn’t able to fix it during our trip so he refunded our heating payment to make up for this. Also to note, you have to message the host in order turn the pool and hot tub heating and jets on/off. Kitchen was a nice size. This is about a 12 min walk to the beach and there are lots of bars and restaurants there. There is a Sprouts Farmers market store, 7/11, coffee shops, and liquor store about a 5 min walk away which was convenient. Overall, good place to stay for a big group.
