This place is perfect. The location is about 8 mins to anywhere you want to go. Downtown, little Italy, the beaches, the zoo, balboa park. North park, hillcrest, mission valley, fashion valley. It’s all right there.
The bunk beds are custom built which makes it feel like you have a lot more space. I slept on the top bunk and didn’t have a problem getting in and out.
The backyard is perfect. Nice patio furniture with a grill. There’s beach chairs and boggy boards left to use as well. Beach towels were also provided which is a great perk so you don’t have to worry about the extra weight when packing.
The inside has a lot of seating and space to lounge. The kitchen is amazing. Great for cooking and hosting the family for dinner. It does not have a traditional kitchen table but does offer island bar stool seating and couches to use.
The master bedroom has a lot of space and a deep walk in closet. The other 2 bedrooms are tight.
The wifi connection works very well. Was able to work and stream while there with no problems.
The host is very responsive during our stay when we had questions.
Getting to the space there are steps. It is a little steep and at night time it is not lit up very well. There are solar lights but when we have cloudy days at night there is almost no light going up the stone walkway to the stairs if the space.
This place is connected to other Airbnb’s. There is one below us. We didn’t hear much noise other then morning time the bunk room and the master bedroom could hear people talking and moving around from the connecting wall. Not a deal breaker but if you want a house that’s not connected or shared walls, this wouldn’t be the space for you.
Airplane noise: if the windows and doors were closed, couldn’t hear them. If they were opened, it would be distant background noise. Departing flights are louder then arriving ones. There was one day were they departed early AM one after another and the consistency was what woke me up but other then that the 6 days we stayed we were pretty unbothered by it. I am a very light sleeper too.
