Hopefully much of this is rectified after a personal note sent via AirBnb feedback, but overall, most of the issues with this Airbnb seem to be from general neglect. Wood floor was unclean and hasn’t been resealed and/or finished in quite some time. There was black mold accumulation on the bathroom windowsill.
There were 3 small live cockroaches in the bathtub and one large cockroach ran across the living room floor one of the nights while we were there. There was no mechanism for cooling outside a fan. There was no full length mirror, as a few previous guests have stated, but should be reiterated as this has been persistent feedback.
This was our first experience using chromecast with the television and, though greater than just a television without any apps, technology or ability, a generally poor experience as it relies on your cell phone for mirroring at which time your phone can’t be used for other purposes. A fire stick or Apple TV could be easy solutions.
On the positive side, this Airbnb had decent furniture, we were able to use the sofa bed and bed in bedroom and liked the location. Balboa park is incredible, little Italy and downtown are very close, and the beaches are 10-15 min away, as well. We didn’t have too difficult time finding parking either, though were always parked 1-2 blocks away. There’s a Whole Foods and 711 within a couple blocks away, too, which was awesome for food needs.
With a deep clean and investment, this place could be 5 stars every time, but it definitely needs that little attention and responsiveness to feedback.
