Nate's house is a major disappointment. It claims to be a 2-bedroom, but the second "bedroom" is in fact just a tiny, non-descript room in the middle of the house that is surrounded by all the other rooms, lacks privacy, and has no door between it and the kitchen. Good luck sleeping in there if others are present.
The feeling of crowdedness is pervasive. The neighborhood is crowded. Parking is impossible. Neighboring homes are a few feet away. The lack of air conditioning requires one to have windows open at all times. Cars are driving by constantly because it's right next to a freeway on-ramp.
We expressed dis-satisfaction before the end of our first day there. We had a baby along for the trip, and San Diego happened to be having record heat. It was extremely unpleasant, and we needed to relocate. Nate refused to be a stand up host, and we were simply out of our money.
We are hosts, and we would NEVER think of holding someone to paying if they expressed so much legitimate dis-satisfaction with our Airbnb. It is very disappointing to experience such a lack of understanding and basic politeness.
Nate was free to rent his place out after we left. We even devoted energy to cleaning and straightening up. Yet we couldn't even get a partial refund.
