This place worked just fine for a 3 night stay in San Diego. We had a few issues with the place—but nothing related to the host or the location. The place is very small, and there really isn’t a good place to put your luggage. Another issue was with the toilet...the property is old but remodeled and we had issues with the toilet flushing and refilling properly. Again, nothing to complain about, as it still worked, but I was just something that required patience. The AC units in the bedrooms were amazing and necessary, but these particular units were extremely loud and would literally start and stop ALL night. Again, fantastic to have air conditioning while we slept...but maybe bring earplugs!! The walls are pretty thin and the other couple heard people talking in the unit above them all night the first night. Lastly, there seemed to be a bit of a problem with bugs in the bathroom...some in the vanity cupboard where the towels were and some crawling in and out of the cracks on the wall and floor of the tub area. We are pretty low maintenance people and didn’t mention any of this to the host, as really, it wasn’t worth bothering him about. However—I just want to be open and honest for future guests. Pros: good location, nice host, we were able to check in an hour early, comfy beds, AC in bedrooms, adequate towels. Cons: Small and warm living space, loud and constant on/off bedroom AC units, toilet issues, bugs in bathroom.
This place was fine but we’d stay somewhere different in the future. The host deserves 5 stars for communication and kindness.
