Oh boy. Where do we start?
Deception #1 the worst thing that all guests must be aware of is that the house has at least 4 bedrooms. THERE WILL BE OTHER GUESTS WHEN YOU ARRIVE. YOU WILL BE TREATED LIKE CATTLE as I was.
Her name is not Natalie. Her name is Katarina. You will find evidence of this on other reviews for the location. That’s Deception #2.
Deception #3. Her profile picture is of Tennis star Anna Kournikova. Does Katarina look like Kournikova? Well she is a dirty blonde, and she does seem to be Eastern European, but I’d say to me she’s more like Sarah Jessica Parker in that movie Hocus Pocus.
Deception #4 she’s not clear that she has a giant Doberman. I mean this thing is like at least 4 feet tall on all fours and absolutely terrifying. You can see people mention this in other reviews but they must be dog trainers because this thing is not trained.
Deception #5 this is NOT a $10 million house. It’s at best $2mm, although Zillow lists it a little higher but I mean yeah right the place feels like a dump in need of repair. The driveway as others have mentioned is on the busiest road in La Jolla and VERY DANGEROUS and she doesn’t have parking so you will have to go a quarter of a mile away to park.
Finally, I will tell you that the price is full of deception. There are hidden fees for extra guests, cleaning fees, service fees etc. By the time you’re through, you will probably have paid double for the room, and honestly do you want that when you will need to share common spaces not just with the owner of the property but with other Airbnb guests?
I’d rather stay at a nearby hotel for a cheaper price and that’s what I did. Airbnb refuses to refund me when that was all that I asked for from the very beginning even before my check in. But oh well my loss is your gain. STAY AWAY!
The view is not worth the cost of DECEPTION.
