This place is awesome! It’s a lot better than I was expecting. The home itself was very cute and the walk way through the side gate and backyard to the private entrance of the room was so cute. They really pay attention to detail and I appreciate the little things that this place has to offer!
The bedroom was pretty roomy with a large walk in closet. The bathroom had everything you need, even multiple brands of lotions, body wash, etc. There was basically anything you’d find in a standard hotel. I really loved that the WiFi was fast. They had a smart TV, so you could log in to your Netflix if you want. They also had a keurig with complimentary pods and some sugar options. The mini fridge came in handy as well!
There was even some laundry detergent and you are welcome to do your laundry if needed, which was a great amenity.
The only issue I had was the bugs. It’s not bug infested but I really don’t like bugs, big or small. And for somewhere I’ll be sleeping, showering, and staying in for a few days, bugs are not acceptable. There were dead mosquitos on our towels. Not like a lot of mosquitos but one is enough to make me feel uncomfortable. I used the towels after cleaning those areas off, because I’m not a germaphobe anyway and I didn’t want to bother the host.
I also dont understand why we had to keep our stay sort of secret. There are instructions in the guest book to not mention we are staying in an airbnb and that we are just guests of the host. She mentioned it’s highly unlikely that you will be asked that question, but in the event it happens that was the procedure we were asked to follow. Kind of bizarre to me to lie about it. Makes me feel like it’s prohibited where she lives or we are doing something illegal. We were seen by residents in the home and there were no issues or questions asked, but still.
Check out was flexible (thank goodness) since there were no new guests coming in that same day. Overall this place is great, and I wouldn’t mind staying here again. Very cute. It’s a great location nearby freeways and approx 15 mins to all the places we visited. San Diego is big so it was nice to stay in a place that’s close to everything.
