When selecting a place to stay for my recent trip to San Diego, my primary considerations were location, quietude, and comfort. Given COVID concerns and a desire to be able to come and go at will without feeling as if I might be disturbing anyone, I was also only willing to consider an option where I'd have the entire place.
I wanted to be in or close to Hillcrest, and relative to my desires and interests, the location of this unit along the border of Mission Hills and Hillcrest was excellent. Since I explored primarily on foot, I had considerable access to both lovely residential and vibrant commercial areas.
The modestly-appointed unit was wonderfully quiet (indeed, much quieter than where I actually live), the HVAC kept it at a pleasing temperature, hot water for a morning shower was quick to materialize, and the bed was comfortable. Though I made no use of the kitchen facilities, it appeared to me to be well-suited to those who would use them.
This was actually my first time staying in an Airbnb accommodation, and given the concerns that have always held me back from doing so, I chose a Superhost with an easy check-in/check-out process. It went well, and I am very appreciative of that.
