Itzel was a great host! She was very responsive, understanding, and accommodating even before my stay. The shared spaces are nice and clean. My room was also very clean. The area the house is in can be a little sketch if you are walking every where. I stayed for 1 month and I walked 15 mins to grocery store, Vons, which was a nice walk. That part of the city felt safe. However, i was also walking 15 mins to the gym, Renegade Fitness, and some of the alleys can be a little sketchy. I would advise against walking alone at night. The location is convient if you have a car or if you uber. It's 10 mins from Balboa Park and gaslamp quarter/Little Italy. It's 20 mins from beaches like Pacific Beach and Mission Beach. Overall, I would say this was a great airbnb experience.
