DO NOT rent this place unless you are a 20-something who wants to be in a party spot and don’t care about cleanliness.
First, this is in Pacific Beach NOT Mission Beach. When we walked in, we were hit by a disgusting smell of old cigarette smoke and mustiness. The floors were filthy and dried leftover food in sink and stainer. The bathroom had some kind of funky tar splatter on the sink and if the toilet was clean — it wasn’t our standards.
After I cleaned, Dominic did refund the cleaning fee and brought some wine glasses (everything was plastic).
We tried to make the best of it because it was close to the beach AND we didn’t want to loose the money spent on the rent. If money were no object, we would have left.
The longer we were at the appt, the more disgusted we were with the place inside and out. It’s not completely remodeled when a disgusting oversized piece of furniture is put back in there. Dominic said they had steam cleaned the couch but it did not make up for what must have been years of smoking and spilling who knows what - we covered it in towels. It needs to GO!!!
As for location and outdoors, we couldn’t enjoy sitting let alone eating outside because the tables and patio area were filthy The plastic chairs were cracked and not something we were going to use. We were determined to have a good time but this 3-night portion was a serious bummer on our vacation.
If there were ways to walk out and be refunded we would have done so. Airbnb needs to have more credible immediate options for these kinds of situations.
