This was my very first time staying at an Airbnb and I didn’t know what to expect other than this place looked PERFECT!! We were able to check in earlier as no one was there the night before which was awesome and we didn’t have to occupy ourselves until later.
Danielle provided very clear instructions on where to go once you arrive as this suite is attached to a home but you go through a nice backyard and up stairs to get to it. There was no confusion at all of where to go. One thing that was my own mistake was not seeing the note saying we could park in the back to unload instead of going from the front to the back, but thats totally on me! It was helpful at check out though!!!
The suite is very spacious! Nothing is cluttered and there’s enough walking space between the bed on both sides, the little couch is in a perfect spot as well. I loved how there were so many windows to let in the nice San Diego breeze. When there weren’t scattered showers, we opened the windows for a bit to get a nice breeze.
The kitchenette is perfect for the basics. We planned to eat out most of the time but there was enough to store our snacks and cold items in the mini fridge. I loved having the Keurig! Now onto my absolute favorite part, the tub.
The tub alone is what sold me on this location as well as the fantastic price. It’s not often I get to take a bath as we don’t have one in our home so this was a total treat. I spent about an hour in there both nights and I have no shame. The shower is beautiful as well!!
The location is perfect. It took us about 5 minutes to get to Old Town and grocery stores were max 10 min. There may be some closer but I was searching for chain ones like Ralph’s, Vons etc.
One night I couldn’t figure out how to get the heater to work so I messaged Danielle and she replied almost instantly. She had let me know that there were extra batteries as we believed the remotes batteries were dying. New batteries solved it! The heat is so nice and really does a good job of heating the entire room. The AC also does a great job of cooling down but we didn’t use much of that since it was in the high 60’s and low 40’s at night.
Oh! You may even get to make a friend with one of the neighbors cat, Pepper. I believe Pepper is a girl, I wasn’t able to check but she had come up to the balcony to see what was up. She was skittish with sudden movements but still hung around before going back home. We saw her again the day we were checking out and this time she let us give her some pets and rubbed up on me purring. Total sweetheart and a pleasant surprise!
Overall, I would totally come back for these things: Location, the tub, easy communication and Pepper 😂😂.
