Positive:
*San Diego can be quite expensive , so the the price is reasonable.
*Detailed instructions for check-in, check-out etc.
*Quick communication
*Safe, tranquil neighborhood
Negative:
*The place seemed only superficially clean, dust and fingerprints on surfaces
*While the room has fresh air and light, the rest of the place is dark and uninviting. There could be a window to the living room, but that window and a large area was curtained off with another (unmade) double bed behind it - weird.
*No key to room provided, while the apartment is shared with strangers you never see.
*The bathroom sink was clogged, you'd think the cleaning staff would notice this immediately.
*The host explicitly asks and pushes for 5" reviews, not cool.
