We stayed at Daniel’s AirBnB for one night for a leisure stay. The apartment itself is in a prime location in Pacific Beach (PB) where everything is easily accessible by walking. Lots of great restaurants and bars nearby. The value of the unit comes from its location.
As the location is in a prime location in PB and it was located on a main road, it was very noisy no matter the time of day. Cars that zoomed loudly through the main street would set off the neighboring car alarms resulting in added noise. The neighborhood was also loud with parties and people passing by, screaming, etc. Trying to fall asleep at night was challenging with the loud cars and people.
Internally, the unit had a musty smell and the appliances could be updated. The A/C or fan did not work. There were other tall standing tower fans in the house, but the unit heated up quickly. The ceiling fan in the kitchen also does not work. Only the light worked. We opened the windows to clear the stench from the house, but opening the windows was louder than we liked.
The parking was a nice touch as it is difficult to find parking in PB, but it was in an alley and seemed a little sketchy. We saw graffiti on the walls and trash cans as well as random people just walking through. It was not easy maintaining a peace of mind for our EV in this alley way.
All in all, we made the most out of our stay.
