The host was very responsive, just further away from San Diego than you think if you are planning on spending more time in downtown/on the beach. There were 8 of us staying there, and honestly there was only one full bathroom so it felt cramped. I would say it’s better suited for families and less people. I don’t think you could fit 10 people in there like what is advertised, not comfortably. It was in a great area though! Lots of shopping nearby.
