Pros: LOCATION IS AMAZING, communication from host was great, contains all beach equipment and house supplies you need, safe.
Cons: A LOT of rules given by host, felt a little intrusive.
I was a solo traveler. I wanted to take advantage of remote work and explore a new city. Before arriving the hosts asked if I was planning on having any guests. At the time the only person I knew I would be seeing was a coworker. We had made plans for her to meet me at the condo and go to the beach one day. My coworker wasn't spending the night or coming any other days. I explained that to the host, but they changed my guest count on airbnb to 2, which I found odd but went with it. They then required that I share either a photo of my friends license or provide them with her airbnb profile. Again, I found this odd because I explained she was just meeting there and then we would head to the beach but, the host said anyone who is on the premise at all must be registered, so I added my coworker to my stay.
During my stay, I went out and met a couple new people (as most solo travelers do). One of them had a later flight but, had checked out of her hotel. I offered for her to come back to my airbnb to drop her stuff off and just kill time before her flight. I (because I felt I HAD to) asked the airbnb hosts if I could have her over for a couple of hours. They said yes, but wanted her full name and proceeded to tell me she was not allowed to be there once it got dark... While I do understand the need for safety, but as an adult who knows how to conduct herself AND for the amount I spent to stay their for 10 days, I felt very uncomfortable and on edge my entire stay. They also require you vacuum so there isn't any sand, take out your trash, and wash all you dishes. That's not terrible. But again, for the amount you spend to stay here, I feel as if I shouldn't have to spend time cleaning up the apartment.
All in all, this is a lovely place in a fabulous location. I think if you are a couple or a small family looking for a quite weekend just to yourself, this is your place. But, as a young adult who came to see San Diego, meet people, and just relax I won't be staying here again.
