The host's employee was nice and met me when I arrived. There is a beautiful outdoor space and comfortable shared living room and kitchen area. The place has several bedrooms, I believe around 10. The bathroom upstairs is shared by several rooms. There are two bathrooms downstairs. So it felt more like a dorm/hotel than staying at a home. Particularly with the tip jar for the host's employee. I did not spend much time during the day so I cannot comment on what that is like. At night, planes fly directly overhead until 10:00 and it is loud. This place is great for young singles who want to explore San Diego and do not mind the dorm feel. The location is close to downtown San Diego and near the freeway.
