There is a laundry list of issues with this host so I will list in bullets.
1. The internet was difficult to log into. When I asked to assistance, James said that he was not an internet person and that "you will need to figure it out on your own".
2. There is loud clattering from the freeway closeby that will make it difficult to sleep.
3. The internet speed is slow at best.
4. They informed me that they would be entering the unit while i was not there. I informed them I was not comfortable with that and tried to arrange a time where I would be available. They were not cooperative and said they are coming and I have no say. I had to get airbnb to arbitrate the issue and James conceded on this issue.
5. Before some of these issues, I had arranged to extend my stay from a week to a month. We had agreed to a fee with all fees included in the price. He overcharged me and told me to accept with the understanding that I would be refunded. He told me that the app was not working properly and he assured me he would refund me the correct amount. After I moved out, he changed his perception of the agreement and refunded me the agreed upon amount PLUS fees instead of minus. He also included a lot of nickel and diming fees.
6. James also manages several other properties in San Diego so be on the lookout. He is very confrontational and arugmentative. He acts as though you are inconveniencing him when you look for assistance.
I strongly advise not using any of his properties. If you do, be very suspicious of any shady suggestions from him. He can not be trusted. I am currently trying to retrieve my refund through the options available to me.
