Our group of 6 people stayed at this place for the Memorial weekend. The location is great to get to downtown San Diego or other major tourist attractions. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, below are some comments and suggestions:
What’s great:
- excellent communication from the host Jennifer
- ready-to-use kitchen
- beautifully furnished bathroom
- great location
Areas of improvement:
- cleanliness of the floor: our group tried to walk barefoot in the house on the first day but our feet were covered in dirt within 5 minutes of walking around the house.
- shower head in bathroom: the hot water gets REALLY hot within seconds. I wish there was warning about it or signs to differentiate between the cold and hot water to avoid any unnecessary burns.
- parking: our group decided to pay an extra $15/car per night for parking as we knew that we will be out late at night and didn’t want to deal with street parking late at night. The only instruction we got from the host was a picture of the location with a big circled spot with caption “It’s in he back of the building, like an alley way”. Our group have to park our cars on the street and do a scavenger hunt for our paid parking spots. When we finally found our parking spots, the 2 parking spots were extremely tightly with another car blocking the front of it. The parking area is covered with gravel, so if you do care about your tires, do street parking instead.
- Unclear instructions
1) Trash bin - Aside from the unclear parking instruction, the check out instructions are also ambiguous. We spent more than 10 minutes trying to figure out where to throw out the trash and which trash bin to use. I wish there were pictures of the location of the trash bin and some identifications of the trash bin (e.g. stickers, numbers, markings, etc.) that belongs to the unit.
2) Laundry unit - we knew the laundry unit is somewhere in the building but didn’t know how to get there, therefore, never used it.
3) Used towels - no instructions or laundry basket(s) for used towels and sheets before checking out.
