Let me start with what I enjoyed about this airbnb. The home has a beautiful view of the ocean, and steps away from Sunset Cliffs. I enjoyed watching the surfers from our deck every morning will drinking my cup of coffee. I also liked that we had 5 bedrooms, which can be hard to come by in San Diego. We had plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The location was wonderful. You can walk to the beach, the cliffs, and restaurants. It's also a nice central location for getting around San Diego (20 min from everything - the zoo, Sea World, etc).
What we didn't enjoy: There was a leak upon check in and the plumber was there fixing it when we arrived. He told us that the home was recently purchased and the rental was under new ownership. Unfortunately, I do not think the rental was ready to be rented yet. The home itself was clean, but needed additional cleaning like dusting the fans and cleaning off outdoor furniture. The beds were uncomfortable and could use better mattresses instead of the short single mattress that the beds all have. Although they provided dishes and silverware, there were not enough pots and pans to cook. The driveway is a gravel lot in front of the garage with a LARGE curb you have to jump over. Fortunately, we had a SUV, but a small car would not make it out of the driveway. This is NOT a handicap accessible home. The concrete steps up to the home do not have rails and can be hard to climb at night due to minimal lighting. The steps between the 1st and 2nd floor are steep and the railing is loose and unstable. My father in law fell on both the steps outside and inside, and my daughter fell on the inside steps.
I've used AirBnB frequently and have never wrote a bad review. Unfortunately, this trip was a dissappointment. For as much as we spent per night, we expected more.
