Our group consisted of a pair of older couples, traveling to San Diego for three days. We selected Kathryn's Airbnb for our stay because, besides the good reviews, it had two bedrooms and two bathrooms and was conveniently located near many of San Diego's sightseeing spots that we wanted to see, Old Town, Balboa Park, Downtown, and the waterfront.
We found the house to be a charming old Spanish home complete with coved ceilings and archways, a light-filled airy kitchen, and wonderful views up the wooded canyon and out to the bay. Nestled in a secluded canyon the setting is quiet and peaceful. Kathryn's succulent garden in the front and the roof terrace were added bonuses.
As others have noted, do not expect a clean and impersonal rental space. The house is well lived in and appears to be the owner's primary residence. With all of the personal items and artwork around, it felt like staying at a family member's home. If you are looking for a less decorated, more sunlit, and more open space it is not for you. The pictures in the listing generally describe the house however, we found the rooms darker and more cluttered than the pictures show.
The main bathroom was ample and well-appointed however the second bath, was a narrow, 36" wide, 1-3/4 bath with a very small shower which was fine as a powder room but very small for a second bath. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well. Check-out time was a bit early for us and we felt pressured to vacate by 10 AM as the cleaning lady arrives promptly. Kathryn's directions to the house were easy to follow, and the house notebook provided helpful answers to our questions. Thank you for hosting us.
