All in all a totally fine stay; there was just a couple things that I didn't know/expect:
1) There are no toiletries (not even hand soap)
2) There is pretty bad air flow since it's a loft/basement and the AC is SO loud so it's hard to sleep if it's on; I was there when it was already a bit cooler in SD, but the lack of air flow made it a bit warm always in the loft
To be fair -- #1 might have been completely my fault. I was rushing to find an AirBNB last minute for work so I might have skimmed over the descriptions and details vs truly paying attention, but in my mind, basic toiletries should be standard (esp hand soap). The loft was cute, though, and located in a great area. Rachel was also a good and communicative host!
