I wanted to fair and so far this is my honest review of the place.
** This unit is a duplex, so 2 unit 1 patio, and the location of the unit is located at the back of the house, so if there is someone renting the other unit privacy will get compromise coz you will be walking back and forth maybe you can use the other side but for the patio uses, I am not sure how will that works coz the unit alone during summer is HOT and Sticky! so you rather stay outside to chill and there is NO AC.
Parking: you get 1 spot reserved but if you have someone visiting o bringing multiple cars bring extra patience as the parking is really challenging.
Furnitures: both room has ceiling fan, as I said no AC so during summer its HOT both rooms has decent bed but they need to change the furniture especially the sofa sleeper, it is saggy and very uncomfortable.
kitchen: newly remodeled I think owner really invested on kitchen.
appliances: Electric fans Filthy Dirty!!! I hope we can post pictures to show but oh man soooo dusty old and cheap. we fix one cooling machine, we open and clean the filter to make it work. filter is again very dirty. TV has cable, and what else nothing to follow.
Patio: patio is patio grill works good.
How far is the beach? near! few houses and you will see the amazing beach.
overall review: my family had a great time, I really wanted to show them the beauty of San Diego that is why I decided to gather them together instead staying in hotel. the first impression is not great but when they saw the water the sad faces switch to smiley face.
