Overall, we had a good stay at Cheryl's. I appreciate the heater when we entered the room as it had got quite cold in San Diego after unusual heavy rain falls. I also appreciate the snacks the host prepared. They saved us the first night. Brittany and Justin have also been welcoming and helpful to us. The location is also convenient to downtown areas although it was tricky to find on GPS the first time.
However, the guest room is only separated from the main living room and kitchen by a thin wall. So the noise from the TV and the strong smell from cooking in the kitchen were very noticeable. Although Justin and Brittany did lower the TV volume and apologized immediately after I made the request, the strong curry smell from a late evening cooking was hard to get rid of. Since we cannot open the door to outside due to frequent skunk visits and the cold, we had to sleep in the strong smell that night. Luckily, it was just one night.
It also got some other small issues like the electricity shut down several time after we used the microwave and the heater the same time, as well as draining problems of the toilet and shower in our last two days of stay. But all the problems were resolved.
Again, we had an overall good stay in San Diego at Cheryl's. We appreciate Cheryl opened her home to welcome our family.
