There are many Airbnbs in San Diego. We poured over the listings, trying to pick one — and I kept coming back to "The Roost" because of the charming photos and stellar reviews. Having stayed there, I can say that the photos and reviews are all accurate, and then some. It is such a beautiful space, designed well and decorated lovingly.
The view into the canyon was gorgeous, the outdoor space was great, and visiting with the chickens as I put eggshells into the compost was a treat. The location cannot be beat; it was 15-20 minutes or less to get anywhere we needed.
Inside, it's not a huge space (since we're coming from a NYC apartment that wasn't a problem) but again, it's so well designed. A table that fits flush against the wall. A bathroom used efficiently (though it did take some skill to use the shower). A small kitchen that had truly everything we needed, plus storage space for clothes and other items.
This Airbnb is also about the details: awesome shampoo and lotions, candles, excellent coffee and tea options, a bottle of wine and chocolates, and way more things than I can remember. All of it added up to us feeing at home — but a way, way nicer home :) Will be staying here next time we're in San Diego if we can!
