Paul was an excellent host: friendly and welcoming, quick to communicate, gave us the option to get sheets changed midway through our stay, told us where to find fresh towels, available to chat and offer local suggestions but also gave us our space/privacy.
We found the house perfectly located and convenient for walking to numerous espresso cafes, eateries, groceries, etc. Driving from the house was convenient too.
Street parking was free but often we had to go the next block or two to find an open space.
The house and room were very clean , tidy, and comfortable. The bedroom had Kleenex, two bottles of water (and more in the closet), two small flowering plants, one bedside table and lamp, a large dresser with some empty drawers, and closets with a few hangers and two luggage racks. There was no cup at the bathroom sink. There was a hair dryer and body wash and shampoo, hand soap, waste basket, and plenty of toilet paper. The bathroom and bedroom had skylights, so bring an eye mask if you plan to sleep in and light bothers you. Paul was very quiet, so although both bedrooms were on the second floor, we rarely heard any noises. We used the kitchen a little for fridge space and heating up leftovers—very clean and nice!
It was an excellent first Airbnb experience for my partner. We both agreed we’d stay there again should we find ourselves in San Diego.
