The apartment is a great deal for the location, close to Balboa park and within 10 minutes walking distance to shops, restaurants, market, etc. I stayed for a month and overall enjoyed my visit. Carlos is an accommodating host, and generally quick to reply to questions and requests. The wifi is fast and worked well for my WFH situation, and they got an office chair to use at the stand up/sit down desk, which was super nice of them. Parking is easy in the area as well.
The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking, and the pots/pans and knives were great quality! The apartment itself was clean for the most part, but kind of feels almost like you’re staying at a friend’s apartment versus a rental property—some personal items are stored in some drawers and cabinets in the bathroom and some food items in the cabinets in the kitchen, which is probably not an issue for someone staying for a shorter amount of time. The closet doors in the bedroom are also pretty old and hard to move so I ended up just keeping the middle door open and only having access to 1/3 of the closet (again only an issue really for longer stays).
Heads up, the washing machine does not work (it is not advertised in the property details but it can be seen in photos). The apartment is under the flight path but surprisingly quiet due to the double windows, which makes a huge difference! Could be an issue if it is warm and you need to keep a window open for air flow or for the AC unit.
Overall it is a reasonably priced Airbnb in a great location.
