I was initially skeptical about using Airbnb because I’m used to staying in hotels, but due to the number of people this made more sense. I was impressed with the check-in process and how much the hosts communicated with me prior to my visit. We were able to drop off our bags at the office before check-in, which worked out great since our flights got in around 8 am.
The location was also ideal - we were within walking distance of Little Italy and could take a short Lyft ride to the Gaslamp. The room was also very clean and came stocked with towels and kitchenware (although we ended up eating out most of the time). There was also free street parking nearby, so one of my friends who drove didn’t have to pay for parking.
I would definitely stay here again if I end up back in San Diego.
