Great place to stay for a vacation in San Diego! Easy access to a lot of the fun areas in San Diego and Pacific Beach. Easy to book and great host to communicate with as needed.
PROS:
- Ample space
- Clean area
- Secure location
- "Covered" parking spot dedicated to unit
- Various supplies in kitchen and bathroom that would be suitable for those staying longer
- TV appeared to have logins/streaming available for multiple platforms (Hulu/Netflix, Spotify, etc.) if you are interested or staying long-term
- Easy communication and directions from Porter (host)
Things to Consider for future guests and host:
- No AC/Cooling (as stated in the listing); this is something to think about if you aren't used to the heat of California, especially if you are staying for a long time. There is only 1 ceiling fan in the bedroom, so the unit can become fairly hot for those that aren't used to it/prepared for it
- Some unfinished/raw areas in the unit (exposed wiring/holes in the wall/cupboard for wiring)
- Living room sofa/pillows and decorative pillow in bedroom could probably use some deep cleaning
- ***We came back one night and the TV was turned on with Spotify up and a song halfway through playing*** (This concerned my wife because we hadn't turned on the TV, nor had we opened Spotify at any point to play music on the TV, so she thought someone had been in the unit while we were away). I'm not quite sure how this happened, and I'll admit I was a bit concerned as well, but I wanted to chalk it up to someone in a unit next to ours (2 other units at the top of the staircase) potentially turning on the TV with another remote or a remote on their phone and accessing the TV app and playing music before realizing they were connected to the wrong TV. This would mean all units were on the same WiFi; I have no other explanation for it.
Overall, we enjoyed the stay and would definitely stay in the area/unit again!
