This house is ok. Good location and in a good neighborhood. many people out walking, and with dogs. it is about 5 blocks from the golf course at Balboa Park. plenty of restaurants to walk to. The night life is busy and so is the street. We slept in one of the front bedrooms and the traffic seemed to be nonstop and loud. those in the back of the house could not hear the traffic noise. The pictures are accurate. A comment from another reviewer said the furnishings were old, I would agree. the house sleeps 8 but the table is seating for 4. With that said, a larger table would not fit. Some parts of the house should have a fresh coat of paint. the kitchen was clean and the refrigerator was large. We didnt do any cooking. there was a Kerig for coffee. I felt the beds were clean as well as the towels.
the description states there is a driveway for 1 car. When you pull up to the house, there is no driveway. there is parking behind the house. I'm guessing they own the house next door. it really needs to be in the description. I sent a message to Evolve asking about the "driveway" they told me to ask the local contact. I did and he did not respond until I sent another message to Evolve. I'm guessing they called him and within a 30 min of that last message he called me. Sunday morning I also sent a message about leaving our car after we checked out, because we were going to walk to a restaurant for bkfst. again he never answered, I contacted Evolve and the contact finally responded. Evolve was very nice and apologized for the contact not responding to me with my questions. they said they would address the matter.
The reason for the 3 stars is the smell in the house. Other than the smell (which I could not get passed) it looked clean, but the smell didn't help. I think it is the choice of cleaning products, at leastthat is what I told myself. However the front bathroom was the worst. Not sure who cleans this house, but I don't know if they spend much time doing any deep cleaning.
I would not stay at this property again. I would consider another property with Evolve, as they were responsive. Dont know if they own the property or if they are just a 3rd party management. Overall I was disappointed.
