My family was excited to stay in La Jolla, but the condition of the Airbnb was disappointing. The house seemed worn, stuffy and unmaintained. I did not get that impression from the listing so we were a bit surprised. The deck was sagging in several spots and the tiny gazebo on the corner of the deck was missing a couple panels so there was a strong breeze coming through. The view was really nice, but it was paired with quite a lot of road noise.
I started washing some of the dishes to use and noticed the silverware was discolored, perhaps from rust, so we got takeout with plastic utensils. The trash can in the kitchen did not have liners and I couldn’t find anything in the cabinets except for yard bags. The gate to get to the trash bins did not look trustworthy so I went around through the front to take out the garbage. Most of the windows had manual screw locks on them for security so we only opened one window and the sliding glass door to get some air.
After dinner we decided didn’t really feel that this place was for us, so we ended up going to a hotel.
