We were looking forward to a getaway and found what we hoped would be a quaint, tranquil and quiet room at an old hotel/rooming house in downtown San Diego. Our experience was anything but quaint and definitely NOT QUIET! Upon arrival in the "non smoking" rooming house, we smelled pot smoke coming from the room across the hall. Our TV was smaller than our little kitchen TV, and we couldn't get any channels, so it was unwatchable. The windows were single paned and street noise from at least a block away sounded like it was coming from the street directly below us. The nicest spot of the "tranquil, quaint" neighborhood was the Hollywood Hustler sex toy shop next door. Homeless people roamed the street and camped in front of our building. The pillows on the bed felt like cases stuffed with rolled up socks. The noise of hundreds of partying drunks could be heard until about 2 am, along with booming music that never stopped. We had booked two nights, but HAD to leave because of the horrid conditions of this "tranquil" room. I would like my second night refunded. We're totally not impressed if Airbnb has approved this site. We have had many great experiences with you, but this one was awful! I'm reluctant to use your accommodations again.
