Ed, was a wonderful host. Very responsive & friendly but this place needs a lot of work.
The bed shrieks with the smallest of movements. Even the adjusting of a pillow made the most annoying sound. It kept us up almost all night. We would’ve definitely slept better had that bed been in better condition.
Also, the bathroom walls are falling apart, holes along the bottom. I think some drywall would make it look less dingy. The tv was broken (which was a bummer because it was pouring since the moment we arrived to SD, it would’ve been nice to watch a movie), but Ed said he will be getting a new one soon. If this would be a deal breaker for you, I’d suggest asking if it has been updated ahead of time.
Lastly, the place had a funky smell. You could tell it had been sprayed with a lot of febreze - we opened as many windows as we could which helped a little.
So, I’d say you’re paying for location! It is perfectly located to everything in La Jolla. The water & tons of restaurants!
