I stayed at this place for 3 months. Overall it was great for the price in San Diego, but I do think a few things about the listing are misleading so I’d like to clarify for future guests.

First, they rent out all three rooms in the upstairs of their house. You will have your own entrance and bathroom and then a shared area with a couch, two full-sized refrigerators, a sink, table, and countertop burner through a separate door in your bedroom. The “stove” has two burners but they are so close together that only one is usable at a time. There is no oven. The countertop burner is electric and takes a very long time to heat up. They do provide all dishes and pots and pans which is very nice and there’s a microwave, toaster, and coffee pot as well. When I was there, many of the other renters were also there fairly long term, but of course you can’t predict who will be renting at the same time as you. The kitchen area got very full of dishes and sometimes I couldn’t cook if others were using the kitchen, but for the most part it worked fine just don’t expect to be making Julia Child’s recipes in that kitchen.
Second, the furniture in the room is not the same as in the photos. It is a white wooden bed with a nice matching dresser. Also, the photos of the outside must have been taken before the current owners moved in because it looks absolutely nothing like that now. Basically the outdoor space is taken over by the families plants and things so it won’t really be usable to you at all.
Third, the laundry situation was kind of strange. I rented from Aug - Nov of 2021, so COVID was still a thing although most are vaccinated and I’m not sure if that affected it, but Hang did my laundry for me instead of letting me do it myself even after I told her multiple times I’d rather do my own laundry. It was very sweet of her to do it, but then it would be all wrinkled from being stuffed back into the basket and it took hours to iron everything. I know a renter who moved in beginning of November was able to do her own laundry so maybe it was just a Covid thing? Not sure.
Also, they advertise it as having air conditioning, but they control the temperature and the room does not get good air flow. It was very hot with the sun streaming in during the middle of the day in the summer. Evenings are fine and I had no trouble in the colder months.
Last thing- just a tip on the TV. It works but it takes about 3 mins from when you turn it on to when it starts working. Just turn it on and it will say error, just wait a few minutes and the error message will go away and it will work.
Anyways, overall I do recommend staying here it’s a pretty central location and was priced pretty reasonably. The bed was comfortable and the other guests were all very nice. I barely interacted with Hong and her husband but they were nice as well. Great place for a student or travel nurse.
