Hosts were great! They were friendly and good communicators. This place is as described. It's in a great location. There is easy access to main freeways, beach, Little Italy, Balboa Park, and surrounding great neighborhoods. Plenty of tasty food nearby. There are many steep hills, which would have been great if I made time for working out. My rental small car fit in front of house. Occasionally, I parked up the hill. I always felt safe. It was quiet for the most part. If you go outside you'll hear the planes. The AC helped muffle the sound inside even though it wasn't very loud at all without AC being on. It had all the basic amenities. I primarily just slept there as there is so much to do in San Diego. I still felt like I was at home despite not spending much time there. My only challenges were the very small shower and the door lock. It took me quite some time to figure out how to lock the door without trying over and over. There is a diagram on how to lock it, however there is an extra trick to it, at least for me. When outside, have the key in the key hole and hold onto it as you are closing. Once you get close to the actual lock, while moving the door somewhat fast, get ready to lock as soon as it gets to the hole where the lock latches, by turning the key to the left. If you don't do that, the latch will reset to a fully open position. I hope this helps. Once you get it right, you'll be a pro. Some additional helpful features were access to washer and dyer, as well as, a beach tent and umbrellas. There was a nice small patio outside and a grill. Overall great stay. I will definitely book again!
