Expect far more than normal “city noise” if you stay here. The house is very clean and very well equipped. The views are lovely. However, be aware that it is just a few short blocks from San Diego International airport, and the blocks in between contain Interstate 5 freeway and the train tracks. When planes take off from the airport they face away from the house, so you get the full brunt of the noise from the 737 engines all day long, but especially about every 5-10 minutes from approximately 6:00am to 11:00am and then again from 5:00pm to 11:30pm….daily. If you are a very sound sleeper and want a nice view you will love it. If you even think you could be a light sleeper, this is not the house for you unless you regularly only sleep from 11:30pm to 6:30am….and it could be earlier. One day the first flight left at 5:22am. Six of us stayed at the house, and every night at least half of us were awakened numerous times by the airplane noise which comes right through the windows and causes the house to vibrate slightly….so just know that. I live in Burbank about 2 miles from an airport, and have stayed in Manhattan, Chicago, Madrid, Berlin, London, Paris, etc so I am not particularly bothered by the normal city noise of cars honking, sirens, the sounds of people talking occasionally as they leave restaurants, etc. if the trade off is walkability, etc. but the noise here was way too much for us. We checked out a day early and went home so we could sleep and relax. Didn’t ask for a refund nor were we offered one. Also, there are signs everywhere in the house. So many signs about being quiet, don’t be in the hot tub after 10pm, don’t be outside on the deck after 10pm, etc. but you can’t even have a conversation on the deck because every 5-10 minutes you are interrupted by a plane taking off. Never had any issues with the neighbors like some reviewers mentioned feeling glared at, etc. but all the signs make you think that you are one chuckle from being yelled at by someone. I’ve stayed at the Westin, Intercontinental, and Marriott Pulse in downtown San Diego in the past and all are right in the city, which this house is not, and all are much quieter. Lesson learned….
