We had mixed feelings about Adam's place. Let's talk about all the good: Adam is really friendly and communicative. We showed up and there weren't any pool towels and he overnighted some to us. Check-in was easy. The neighborhood of the house isn't that great, but it's very close to highways making every drive around 10-15 minutes. It's also walking distance to a cute neighborhood up the hill. It was great to have the pool and the hot tub, especially during our week of June Gloom weather where it was sometimes a little too cold to swim, so we'd alternate between the pool and the hot tub.
We were a group of 8 adults and two toddlers. The house had enough beds to sleep everyone, but not quite enough living space or dining space to let us all commune in the same area at the same time. All of our guests said that the beds were way too soft (our bed was okay) but the sheets were super cheap polyester and so everyone seemed uncomfortable at night. The downstairs has two bathrooms and three bedrooms so 6 adults and a baby were getting ready at the same time and we couldn't get the dampness to ever really leave the downstairs. Combine that with the 7 ft ceilings and it all just felt a bit dank. The pool and hot tub were a lot of fun, but the hot tub was sandy and a bit cloudy/green when we got there. Someone came by on our last day to clean the pool and the hot tub - the hot tub didn't seem much improved. I think the guests before us had a big dog because the outside mats and furniture were absolutely covered with dog hair. The inside seemed clean though.
All in all, I think this house is better suited to college kids or a group of singles who aren't trying to eat all their meals together and who maybe don't have the same level of quality hopes that a bunch of late-thirty year olds do. We enjoyed ourselves because we were all together and we absolutely love all that San Diego has to offer. Adam gave the impression of being a caring host and a good person, but we wouldn't want to come back to this house.
