The Airbnb was clean and a nice distance (10-15 min drive from La Jolla beach. The actual layout of the place is odd. The bedroom has a window that looks right into the outside hallway that people walk past. The outside apartment hallway lights blast into the bedroom all night even after closing the bedroom pocket doors. There also isn’t a dresser or really any drawers to put your clothes, just a closet with some hangers. We brought a safety hazard issue to their attention (outlet with exposed wires) as soon as we noticed on the second day and they claimed we damaged the property. The exposed wires were never fixed and is a fire hazard for anyone staying there.
NOTE: Kids and infants are not allowed at the location. The hosts told Airbnb we had an infant (it was listed 2 adults 1 infant on our Airbnb reservation and I informed them months before our trip while reserving it, we were excited for our first vacation with our infant). The hosts then asked for more money from us ($100 more a night for the week) in the middle of our vacation. Airbnb support tried to reach out to the hosts for almost two days and had trouble getting a response from them. It was a horrible situation all around and just was not handled as it should have been. Disappointing after waiting three years for a vacation. We’ve had great experiences at other airbnbs and with hosts so hopefully this was a one off situation.
