The hosts: Matt and Gina were super cool and very nice! Easy to communicate with and always replied very fast. We loved that they were able to let us check in early and check out late which not many hosts do! They also provided very, very nice touches when we entered and kitchen with some drinks/snacks provided :)
The house: House was very clean and very nice and updated inside. Furniture was great. Beds were nice and comfortable, but I usually don't have any problems sleeping. Bathrooms were really nice and fully stocked. We also liked that the house had a gate, outside cameras, and an alarm system so we felt very secure. The only unfortunate thing was that the windows seemed on the older side (single paned)...which will contribute to my next section:
The weather: We were unlucky to get a heat wave during our stay which Matt and Gina did warn us in advance which was nice. We even confirmed it with other locals that the weather we were in was not normal for san diego. My guests and I figured it would be fine since we will be out most of the day and home only at night. However, the heat wave and poor insulation of the house caused it to be VERY VERRY WARM inside the house, especially in the bedrooms. Some of us had to sleep in the living room even though we all had beds, bc it's the coolest place in the house. If you do not do well in the heat, I wouldn't suggest this place in weather over 75 degrees (which is majority of the time). My guest and I were trying to buy box fans at walmart but there was none left.....we didn't really like the fans inside the home because they were very old (and very dusty) and not powerful enough to bring any cool air from the windows (ceiling fans and floor towers).
The neighborhood: Not the greatest, but not the worst. I lived in similar areas in the Bay and since I had a party of 5 (girls and boys) we felt safe. Alarm system, cameras, and gate also provided that comfort :) Neighbors were a bit loud some nights (drink on top of their roof) but nothing earplugs can't fix! Good thing about the location was that was very close to the beaches, downtown, and airport and Tacos El Gordo is about 7 miles south....which is worth the drive!!!
