Perhaps I caught this place on an "off" weekend so sadly my stay was just "okay". Communication with the hosts was great and Lauren was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had hence the extra star. The layout of the place is great and the bed is pretty comfortable. I did notify the hosts I was arriving late but I arrived to a dark, freezing, and musty space with no outdoor patio lights that worked. (I understand it was just a bad weather weekend in San Diego but I live in SF so I was coming from similar weather). I also found black mold in the bathroom baskets so I placed those outside and notified the hosts. There was also soap scum on the faucets and pieces of opened chocolate on the bathroom shelf so cleanliness was...fair. The air bnb is a short walk to some coffee shops but it's location is best for public transport, bike or a car to get around the city. It suited my needs for a quick stay for a conference but I don't think I would stay again.
