Unfortunately, the place didn’t seem run well, and the owner/management weren’t organized. Since we arrived in the early morning we inquired about checking in early. We messaged Brittney and she said we could leave our stuff there at 1, and that it wouldn’t be ready till 2:30. We waited till a little after 3 for them to finish cleaning and setting up. They didn’t give themselves much buffer time. And frankly, we left the place cleaner than it was when we arrived. The set up of the house was overall nice. Two of the beds felt like you were sleeping on bricks. If you like fitted sheets, bring your own. The outdoor furniture cushions had footprints all over them when we arrived. We simply flipped them over, but the covers are white and should be washed between guests in my opinion.
David was helpful in fixing the cable remote and bringing over a couple lamps since there are only overhead fixtures in the rooms.
We enjoyed the owner’s suggestion on visiting the Ocean Beach dog beach since a friend with a pup lived near where we were staying. The beach was within walking distance.
Honestly, privacy is important to me. With all the fees, I paid close to $2,000 to stay here. I believe that’s a fair price for privacy. David told us he would be coming by later the night we arrived to hang some lights, which we were not opposed to. After that no one contacted us to tell us that they would be in and out of the property multiple times during our 5 night stay. I found it very odd, and it made me uncomfortable. And I only know of the times they showed up when I was there. I’m not sure how often they came by when I wasn’t at the property, and whether or not they went inside with my belongings. This is the first Airbnb I stayed at where the owner/management just showed up without announcing their presence. Is that normal?
