PROS: Location, location, location. It's a few steps from the beach and walking distance to all nearby local coffee shops, restaurants, and Belmont Park. The lyft/uber rides weren't too bad as it was about a 15 minute drive to the Gaslamp District, the San Diego Zoo, and Little Italy. There is also a Starbucks down the street, which was cool.
CONS: Everything else. Overall, I felt like this house needs a lot of repairs. I was utterly disappointed at the lack of care and maintenance for this location. There's a lot of uneven pavement near the garage and on the turf next to the front door. My friends and I kept tripping on that uneven turf.
WHEN WE ARRIVED (Cons - continued) : The code to the lock box on the front door did not work, so we needed to go through the garage every day. The 2nd floor toilet in the hallway was not working and the water pressure in that bathroom was low. The 2nd floor living room with the pool table had a window screen that was protruding out and needed repairs. The OTHER 2nd floor bathroom's toilet paper holder immediately fell off after one use. There were NO hangers at all and little to no towels.
DURING OUR STAY (Cons): We tried to use the fan since it got hot on the 1st floor and it did not work. We tried to use the gas grill and it would not turn on. The hot tub was overflowing, so we decided to not use it to not ruin the turf. The beds are all VERY uncomfortable. It felt like we were sleeping on 20 year old box springs. There were several flies throughout our stay, but that didn't bother me too much given we were close to the ocean.
Overall, I don't believe I will be staying here again. I felt like this was a catfish AirBnb considering how nice the photos were when I initially booked this. Of all the places I've stayed, this was definitely the worst. This place needs a lot of repairs. Considering how much we paid, I felt I overpaid for this AirBnb given the missing items, lack of care/maintenance, and trip & fall potentials.
