My first Airbnb experience was staying at David's place and it was so much better than I could ever expect! He texted me through check in and gave very detailed step by step instructions on the process, including a video on where the apartment was located. We only had one question in the stay and he responded immediately. And then, something I was incredibly grateful for, he left us alone. It made for a wonderful and not overbearing experience.
His apartment is located right over a bunch of restaurants and is across the street from Lucha Libre Taco Shop, which is fantastic! We never had to go far for food as it was all walking distance away. The gelato shop featured in his pictures is particularly good.
It's all street parking which stressed me out, and it is surrounded by a lot of hills so if you're comfortable parallel parking on hills, you'll be fine. I, however, am not so I was worried but I was able to find a spot down the street so it worked out. We did take Lyft everywhere though as we didn't want to risk losing our spot.
Also, the AC in the apartment is amazing. A total plus!
I hope that next time I visit San Diego David's apartment is available because I would love to stay there again!
