Cody was a great host and checked in with us at the beginning of our stay. The location was amazing and we appreciated that it was within walking distance of great food options and a Target. Street parking was fair, but does get busy during the evenings. We appreciated being in close proximity to Balboa Park and being able to walk around the neighborhood with our infant. The home was well-stocked with essentials we needed and was nicely decorated.
Our family's needs were a bit more specific than the average AirBNBer I would say, so this review reflects upon that aspect. We checked in and it was quite warm and stuffy inside, so we turned on the split AC (that is attached to the wall). It took several hours to cool the entire home down since there was only one AC unit. Unfortunately, it also dried up the air inside. This resulted in an uncomfortable first night, especially for our 5 month old who kept waking up with a heaving dry cough. We felt pretty bad about the middle of the night cries since there's a shared wall in the bedroom and noise can be easily heard from one unit to the next. We found that turning the AC and ceiling fan off in the bedroom and opening up all the windows in the home helped a bit the following night, but it was rather warm, since we stayed in the middle of July. As someone with allergies, it was a challenging stay. I also have to provide fair warning that the couch felt uncomfortable too, as though there was no cushion. No matter where we sat, we were able to feel the springs/wires below the seat. Accessibility was a bit challenging with a stroller. The front entrance to the community was narrow and had rocks along the path and the side entrance was similar. However, since we only had s troller, it was still manageable. Unfortunately, we decided to shorten our stay and leave early.
While we enjoyed our stay to an extent, this home is probably suited for visitors with little or no accessibility needs, no dependents, and are not finicky with temperature/climate.
