Mostly good! But some bad.
First off, this is a WONDERFUL little place to stay. The neighborhood is great, it's walkable to Ocean Beach businesses, and is just a really special part of the world. The cottage itself is clean and comfortable, with great light and an gentle breeze that makes hanging out there really enjoyable.
The furnishings are clean and stylish, bedding is very nice, and the kitchen has everything you'd need. The bathroom had a slight sewer odor, and some of the finishes showed wear, but everything still felt clean. This is a great place to come back to after spending the day out and about around San Diego, and we were usually able to park right in front over our 4 night stay.
But be aware, this host may ask you to send him a picture of your ID ahead of when you arrive. In my case, I let him know the reasons why this made me uncomfortable, and explained that I was already ID Verified on AirBnB, as well as having numerous positive reviews. I also told him that I would be glad to show him my ID when I arrived. There were also some valid personal considerations that I tried explaining to him.
His response was that I could cancel my reservation at no charge if I didn't want to comply with his request. This was 48 hours before our trip! This turn of events upset my wife, so I reluctantly sent him a picture of my driver's license. All in all, I felt that I was being judged as some kind of security threat, a person that was viewed as guilty until proven innocent. This was a terrible way to start a trip that is supposed to be enjoyable, especially after paying $1100 for the privilege! I'm still upset over this, and it unfortunately cast a negative light over what was otherwise a very pleasant place to stay. Ocean Beach is a part of San Diego that is known for GOOD VIBES, not negative energy.
