Read to the end!
This listing has a great location- close to San Diego zoo and balboa park. And a host who responds with urgency and curtesy.
The check in process is was easy and seamless. They offer all the products needed for dishes and toiletries.
The negatives would be that I think the photos posted are what it looked like when it was freshly posted and unfortunately I do not believe it has been kept up to look like the photos.
The cleanliness was not 5 stars but the host compensated for that issue without delay which was appreciated.
I think the home can benefit from a good deep cleaning to keep up with the high traffic usage.
Noise factor- it was closer to the airport than I realized and I did hear planes often and it wasn’t entirely quiet. By the end of trip I had gotten used to it but was still bothersome the first 2 nights.
Also I missed the fact it was a duplex ( solely my fault). The neighbors weren’t bothersome but if you plan to sleep in the queen bed you’ll probably hear them. I also felt pressure to be extra quiet having a shared wall or two ( hard to do with kids ) and usually the reasoning for my air b n b stays are to avoid that pressure.
The sunlights above the beds weren’t ideal as well. Which you can see in photos but I didn’t realize how soon we would be awake due to the light. About 5:45am 🥴
Overall, I’m not sure I would revisit this home in the future.
