Pictures can be very deceptive!!!
So very disappointed in our stay here! I came to La Jolla to be reunited with my two best friends for my 60th birthday celebration.
First of all…Be aware that you will be breathing in the most overwhelming scent of fabreeze that seems to be coming through the heater system and is throughout the home which gave us all headaches the entire time we were there. The cleaning in general is not up to par at all!!
The two chairs that you see in the photos in the front window had broken legs on them we had to prop them up by putting books under them. We found moldy coffee grounds in the coffee maker. All the towels reeked of mildew. The bathroom rug was dirty. The soap dispensers were all empty. There was no way to lock the home when leaving for the day, we had to hide our valuables. We had difficulty figuring out the lock upon arrival and there were no clear directions of how to enter the home.
We wrote to the host three days prior to arriving and never heard back. I left five messages while we were there and never heard from him the entire time. I still have not gotten a response from him even after arriving home. Perhaps some of the issues could have been resolved had there been some communication from the host but as I said we never heard back. The view is spectacular and it is a great location but the home lacks charm and needs to have some time spent fixing some of the details. Clearly this is just a money maker with no effort at all put into creating and inviting and cozy experience for the guests . If you’re looking for personal touches and charm this is not the place for you!! I have stayed at many Airbnb’s from Paris to New York I have never been disappointed. Unfortunately a big let down for my birthday weekend! Hotel Valencia around the corner is spectacular might want to look at their rates before considering this.
