When I was planning a trip to San Diego I was really between this place and a hotel. I think If you want more space, a kitchen and 2b 2b this place is a really great value. We were going to be in SD for a while so I wanted more of an apt. Feel. It’s walking distance to a good amount of things including restaurants and bars. You’d need to Uber or drive to little Italy area, as the walk is a bit far. Good central location, dog friendly. And the patio is a great view.
The biggest downside is that this Airbnb is a leased apartment, and is against the lease agreement. This probably isn’t usually a problem, but our fobs stopped working the first day and we were unable to leave because we would have to ask other renters to help us get to our apartment. The front desk won’t help you because Airbnb is not allowed in the complex, but it seems that people are doing it anyway. The description says to be discreet because the community doesn’t like Airbnb, but that’s not true. It’s literally against their lease terms. So if you’re okay with that and know that going in, then you’ll be fine. We did not know this going in and were surprised to find out. The rental company for the host helped us solve our problem when they were able to, but we had to wait until the next morning, so we couldn’t really use the amenities of the complex like we had planned that first day.
Overall I think this will be my last Airbnb. I’ll stick with hotels for my next trips.
