This house was as described, I had 7 other people staying over and everyone was able to sleep comfortable and still hang out. It wasn’t like the kind of house where the host just shoves beds in every available space. The place was tidy, there was room for everyone to hang out. The vibe of the place was cool, we really liked the decor and felt homey. Netflix was available for us to watch and there were two AC units that kept the place pretty cool.
Victor always responded quickly when I had questions or changing the amount of guests I needed.
Now, there is not a driveway or a designated spot. If you’re looking into this house, just know that and parking is very difficult to find. My party and I live in LA so we are used to homeless people and some encampments, but the one down the street is especially scary. I was expecting it with the description of the house, though. My husband and his friend had initially parked there to pick us up after and when they went to move, someone did try to fight them. I didn’t drive there myself or had to find my own parking, but I can see how it can be intimidating. I’m definitely not knocking Victor at all for this, just a fact about the place. Throughout the day we found up front parking so it was okay. I definitely wouldn’t have walked to any bars from here, we just ubered everywhere we needed.
That being said, check in was at 4pm. I had received a check in code, but after arriving at 4:45 and it not working, it made me very paranoid. We had a lot of stuff on the sidewalk, no parking so had to take up a lane out front to unload but now definitely felt unsafe being unable to go in the gate and the car running. I did message Victor immediately and he gave the code, I just really wish I had gotten it right at 4.
The house itself is again, very spacious. It was tidy, the floor seemed like it hadn’t been properly mopped in a while. The bathrooms were clean and had a lot of towels. Victor did provide a lot of stuff in the kitchen, though we didn’t use much. The two adjoining bedrooms have the same fan so unfortunately the remote in one room could control the other which was not great when some people were trying to sleep.
I didn’t spend any time outside, the guests who did liked it apart from the smell of the dogs next door - obviously not a knock on Victor. Everyone felt safe inside.
If I was staying in San Diego again and needed a place to accommodate a lot of people, I would definitely use this place again.
