Brilliant place, very very nice. Host fantastic all instructions worked out exceptionally well to gain access. Easy walk into down town San Diego, about 45 minute walk to San Diego Zoo the Balboa Park. Great location to access attractions
BUT - need to advise the hot water situation needs to be closely considered
Shower - You have to turn on the tap to maximum hot water and wait for about 5 - 6 minutes until it gets hot (yes, 5-6 minutes). At this point the water is so hot it will almost scold you, so you have to back it off but if you back it off to much it becomes very cold again, and takes a few minutes to then turn up the heat. So a normal 4 - 5 minute shower took almost 15 minutes of running water and trying to balance out the temperature We would not recommend children to control the water temperature unsupervised (if you happen to have children with you)
CLEANING DISHES - And to wash the dishes with hot water in the kitchenette area, could take nearly 9 minutes of running the tap before you getting some hot water for dish washing
It seems such a waste of water resources
NEXT - Unfortunately we were told that the liquor store next door had just one installed some new lighting to light up their Carpark. This in turn eliminates the entire Airbnb apartment. Suggest if you like a dark room to sleep bring along a sleeping mask. Michelle was very helpfull the first night we stayed by coming in at about 11:30pm to put up a blanket over one window to help minimise the bright lighting
Once the lights are turned off (2am in the morning), it is perfect
