Melinda's photos and room description weren't accurate. The house didn't have A/C as mentioned in the description. None of the windows had screens, so the one time we opened the window a few bugs flew in. The bathroom had bugs crawling around and didn't look like it had been cleaned in a while. We were told that the upstairs bathroom shower didn't work, so Melinda, the other two Airbnb guests, plus my boyfriend and I all used the same downstairs shower... 5 people showering per day. Bring shower shoes.

A couple other things to note about the house - the common areas were very cluttered and smelled musty. Not really a place you'll want to hang out or relax or eat a meal. The refrigerator was full and very dirty, so you may or may not be able to put your food in there. Since the house is older you'll be able to hear everything - like the TV in the living room, people in the bedrooms upstairs, people in the bathroom, etc - I can understand why Melinda would ask people to be home at a certain time because of how easily you can hear noise in this house.

The neighborhood was safe and in a great location, only a couple miles from the beach. The airport noise is very very loud in this area., though, but not as bad as downtown San Diego. We bought a box fan to drown out the plane noise and also keep the room cooler since there was no A/C. It helped a lot.

Melinda was rarely home, but she was there to show us where everything was and give us the wifi password and door entry code.

Oh, and initially there was no light bulb in the lamp. We found one and put it in ourselves. You're welcome.
