We were really excited to stay in Kate's home for the few days while we were in San Diego, but we were highly disappointed. I would not stay here again and do not recommend this place to anyone unless you are really on a tight budget. For $20-$30 more, there are far nicer and cleaner places to stay. The most important thing to us was to have a clean room to sleep and shower in (being that most of our time was spent doing activities away from the home), but we failed to get that. With 5 rooms all being rented out it feels more like a hostel than a home (which we were ok with). The worst part about the home by far was the cleanliness of our room. It felt like it had not been cleaned in months. There was literally spider webs/dust webs all over the walls - I think I counted around 18 in total and they were not small by any means! (It was the first thing we both saw when we entered the room) It was really gross. Both fans, the dresser, and portable AC unit were full of tons of dust as well. The one bathroom was in the middle of being remodeled when we were there so there was no mirror, little light, and a lot of dust on the floor. The second day (after the bathroom had been painted) the bathroom stunk of fresh paint. The kitchen cabinets were also being repainted while our stay there, which put more fumes in the home. Room B does not have any windows so it was extremely hot and uncomfotable in there. I let Kate know the first night and she said she could come over the second day to show me how the portable AC worked. However, she never reached out until I messaged her at night. (I figured she would have set it up during the day for us while we were gone) The portable AC was provided, but was caked-up with old dirt and dust that it literally did very little to cool the room down. There was about 1/4'' of hardened dust all on the back air intake area of the AC - - yuck! So, I had to set it up myself and when I went to fill it up with water, there was mold-like substance growing in the main water area - super gross! I did the best to clean it out and set it up just to cool the room down by a few degrees. Overall, Kate did respond quick when I would message her and the home is in a convenient location, but based on the cleanliness of the room and bathrooms we would not return, nor do I recommend this location to future travelers :-(
