Great location, great house, and great experience! Overall would stay again in a heartbeat. NOTE: We stayed the weekend of San Diego Comic-Con, so it's likely our price was higher than usual.
PROS:
- Location is great with ample street parking (and 3 included spaces) and close to a lot of stuff (Oceanside, Little Italy, Pacific Beach, Gaslamp)
- House has a ton of amenities for a large group. 3+ beds, rooftop area with views galore, firepit, foosball table, and a big living room with dining table and ocean view.
- House is decently well stocked with coffee, tea, pots/pans, etc. Not a huge collection of spices but gets the job done.
- Host was quick to respond and answer any questions prior to and during the stay
CONS:
- House is a bit older and is probably due for a little love. It feels like a 20+ year old beach bungalow but it's by no means unlivable. Still a stunning property, just not one that feels like it's been built/renovated in the past few years.
- We paid a pretty high price per night ($1,000+) and overall I think it was a little inflated for what we got. However, it was SDCC weekend and we were a big group of 8, so it is what it is.
- I don't know if it's the area, but there were a ton of flies around, and the trash area outside clearly hasn't been cleaned in awhile. While eating breakfast in the backyard we were batting a good 10 flies during our meal.
