This was not our favorite stay. When we arrived we noticed the gate code to enter the property was not provided in the check-in guide. We called Sandra and she called us back to give us the code (she was out of town at the time). But we were let in by the cleaning lady who had arrived after 4pm to clean. Sandra said this was because she forgot she was hosting us that day and thought we were arriving the next day. So we waited about 20 minutes for the lady to clean. Once we got inside the unit we noticed lots of small ants, moths, and spiders in the place. Not much of a bother but could’ve been better.
There’s NO air conditioning or fans provided so we were burning up in there! That plus a heat wave being in San Diego made our stay almost unbearable. When we went to cook there were no baking pans or skillets, just a big pot and a medium pot. Not sufficient for kitchen basics. The bathroom door scrapes the floor when you go to close it and the bathroom curtain has rust and stains on it (not sure how often it’s changed). There were 2 drying body towels and 3 hand towels in the bathroom but NO wash clothes (thank goodness I brought my own). After flushing the toilet it runs for forever trying to fill the tank again which was annoying at night. We had to keep pushing it softly to trick it to stop.
The bed has a frame but the box spring and mattress are actually on the floor. The bed was very uncomfortable and had no firmness to it. No Wifi was provided.
Pros - accurate to the pictures, nice neighborhood and we felt safe, close to stores, highways, and the beaches. We had no issues with parking on the street. Definitely would’ve used the lounge areas provided outside had it not been so hot and spider webs everywhere. Also, Sandra did call us back shortly after we called her which was really good. She was apologetic about the gate code and not answering when we first called.
This could be a really nice stay with some extra care put into the details.
