Location was great and the beds were comfortable. The outdoor area was great and the hot tub was clean. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing overall. The biggest issues being a refrigerator that did not work and an unresponsive host. Three days before our check-in date, I attempted contact the host to inquire about checking in at 1pm instead of 3pm as our flight time was changed. After sending the host a message three separate times on three separate days leading up to our trip, the host finally responded at 12:26pm on check-in day giving us permission to check in at 1pm. A more timely "yes" or "no" to my question could have avoided us unnecessarily renting a car to store our luggage in for two hours.
Upon arrival, we noticed the ice/water function on the refrigerator was not working. This would have been nice to know beforehand so we could have prepared by purchasing ice & a water filter before our arrival. I texted to host to let him know and he admitted there was something wrong with the fridge and that's why the owners had turned off these functions. We didn't know how bad the issues with the fridge were until feeling sick the second day and then noticing none of the food we were keeping in the fridge was being kept cold. When I contacted the host about the fridge/freezer being at unsafe temperatures, he informed us he would send a maintenance guy to the house to look at it. The maintenance guy arrived soon after with a travel cooler and one bag of ice... he pulled the fridge out and verbally confirmed the it was broken and said he would inform the host... we never heard back from the host. No further action was taken to address the fridge issue. This resulted in us having to throw away a lot of perishable food we had purchased to cook our meals in addition to added costs for eating out for the rest of our trip because it was unsafe to store food in the refrigerator/freezer.
Other small and normally forgivable inconveniences became difficult to ignore after the refrigerator crisis... one of the trash bins was already full when we arrived. This made clean-up difficult with the amount of food we had to throw away/needing to drink bottled water, etc. The house was tidy at first glance, but the floors and kitchen felt very dirty and probably had not been cleaned before our arrival. There was a light out in one of the bedrooms so I had to get ready with a reading lamp and use the flashlight function on my cellphone to navigate that room after dark. We had to shower with the door open upstairs because the fan did not work. We took turns drinking coffee because there were not enough dishes to accommodate our group of 10.
Unfortunately, I recommend booking somewhere else for your trip to San Diego. We all agree this was the least pleasant experience we have ever had with Airbnb.
