The upside: the location was fantastic for a visit to the zoo and Balboa Park. Super close. Fun neighborhood.
The downside: it wasn’t clean & communication wasn’t smooth. The coffee filter was overflowing with old coffee, the frying pan had a piece of pancake stuck to it and the spatula had bits of egg on it. No washcloths provided. Had to request checkin info twice. When I messaged at 7am regarding the cleaning issues, they didn’t reply until 430 in the afternoon, when we were just returning to the house, so it was too late to have the cleaning crew return. They dropped off a bottle of wine as an apology and said it was a new cleaning crew, but I’d expect that a host would check up on a new crew. The kitchen is well lived-in, and normally I loved a well-stocked Airbnb kitchen, but in this case there’s so much stuff it seems hard to ensure everything is clean in between guests. We’re not picky people, so I don’t say this lightly: for $700 for 2 nights, this place was a bit of a disappointment.
