The house is a great refuge for a large group of friends. In my case, my all girl teammates and I had a sports tournament at Balboa Park and found the stay to be true to what is listed. The pool was very relaxing and the place was clean.
With that said, please keep in mind that one evening while I was at dinner, three of my friends went back to the house very exhausted from the day and found the host in her car outside of the house. When my friends approached the house, she continued to ask them questions if they were staying at the house etc. (all information that I provided in our direct contact messages). When my friends confirmed they were staying there, the host continued to say that she’d seen “activity” on the ring camera. This was a concern to my friends because no one was at the house (as we were all out) so my friends were curious if perhaps there was an intruder. The host later walked back the “activity” statement and mentioned being unsure if there was a party happening.
Honestly, this was a bit jarring to me considering I’ve had transparent communication all along including the fact that my friends and I were solely staying there to sleep at night after a long day of playing a sports tournament in the park. We are all fully employed and professional adults that are very kind, quiet, and respectful.
While the home was everything we expected based on the listing and we ended up having a wonderful time resting there, please know that the host is watching and may show up without notice via a direct message about any potential worry— purely unannounced for their own reason.
It’s a bit disappointing considering how much money it costs to stay multiple nights.
