As I told Jenny it would be, this is my first time leaving a bad review for an air bnb.
I was not given any check in instructions until I arrived on site and messaged the host. The check in instructions were quite blank and just said to contact her. She was quick to respond, thankfully, but I can see how the parking could be an issue on a bad day. However, I’m pretty familiar with San Diego and Mission in particular so I was prepared for this. You shouldn’t have to be, though, when a host guarantees parking on site.
The room was BARE MINIMUM. It was cheap, but I’ve stayed in even cheaper with more hospitable hosts and amenities. Honestly, the fake oranges in the kitchen made me SO angry - Jenny and her spouse are making enough money between all of their rentals to add a few touches, like actual coffee instead. Or replacing the fridge that is rusted and looks older than I am.
The other guests were obnoxiously loud at all hours of our stay. We complained the first night and Jenny told us their was earplugs in the closet lol. It went on for the second night as well, and Air Bnb gave me the partial refund I requested and Jenny did not accept.
My partner pointed out the smell of gas in the air throughout our stay, as well.
To those unfamiliar with Mission, it can be quite loud and wild and even dangerous at times. However, this was in the middle of October, there was hardly anyone out who wasn’t a local, so this Air bnb could’ve been under better control w proper hosts.
