Me and my group of friends had a great time at this AirBnb! It was definitely one of the more unique stays in a great location in San Diego overlooking the downtown area. We felt right at home in this uniquely themed house. The house is well thought out and great for entertaining moderately large groups. We had 8 people and it felt like the perfect amount of rooms and space (so nice for each couple to have a bathroom!)
The weather was fantastic and it was so relaxing to be able to look out on the balcony to a gorgeous view, as well as open the windows and not have to worry about insects. The surrounding community feels safe and quiet, and neighbors passing by are friendly. This would NOT be a place to "get krunk", but rather enjoy the company of friends and family in a classy way.
After booking, the manager will send a short term lease agreement which seemed to be pretty straight forward and no problem.
The only things that were a bit more off-putting were the cleanliness of the house, and the kitchen smelling of gas. We had run into the man that cleans the house and he assured us that everything was thoroughly cleaned and the floors were clean - so at first, we took our shoes off when entering the house. However, we quickly learned the floors were not even remotely clean as our feet quickly turned black after walking around. There were also cobwebs in the bar area and in some bedrooms/bathrooms. The grill was also dirty so we did not attempt to use that.
Additionally, the kitchen smelt faintly of gas which we assumed was the gas oven that was constantly slightly warm (figured this was the style of old ovens?), but later realized that it probably smelt of gas because the pilot lights on the stove had been extinguished and the stove was just releasing gas. BE SURE TO CHECK THE PILOT LIGHTS ARE LIT ON THE STOVE. Pretty sure this was a big fire/carbon monoxide hazard. Good thing we kept the space well ventilated with the windows open!! It would have been good to have had some information in the house/airbnb manual about the older-styled kitchen appliances.
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and would return again in a heartbeat given the opportunity :)
