To summarize, Austin's place was probably the best my family and I have ever stayed at which includes other Airbnb's, hotel suites and vacation resorts.
Austin's house features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, dining area and full kitchen. The master bedroom has a spacious walk in closet and integrated bathroom. The second bedroom is conveniently located next to the outside bathroom. The house is well laid out and spacious. Each bedroom as well as the living room had a split AC unit which worked extremely well during the hot and humid summer days we experienced. Air conditioning was an important feature because our dog (nor the humans in the family) does not do well in hot weather. I found out from reading numerous Airbnb reviews that a lot of places in San Diego advertise air conditioning, but most do not provide enough units to cool the entire house. Some will only provide a single unit in the family room which makes sleeping during a warm summer night a tricky proposition. Austin's house not only has the 3 split AC units, but also ceiling fans in each room. Turning on both the ceiling fans and AC will cool the entire house down in minutes.
By the way, speaking of the dog, Austin's place is absolutely ideal for anyone vacationing with their dog. The house has a grassy, partially fenced front yard for the dog to explore or just lay down and relax under one of several shady trees. A hose is provided in the front, which is handy when washing the dog off after a trip to the beach or dog park. The back yard is completely fenced in and somewhere you can just leave your dog to sunbathe or enjoy some fresh air. The neighborhood is very quiet, safe and full of friendly people, many of whom befriended our dog during morning and evening walks. The location is perfect - close to a lot of great restaurants, attractions, etc. and not far from the beach.
The kitchen features a lot of cabinet space, a full sized refrigerator/freezer (not one of those mini-sized ones), stove/oven, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, etc. The television and internet worked great and the air hockey table was a great idea and led to several competitions between me and my daughter.
Finally, Austin was a fantastic host. He responds very quickly to all questions and is extremely helpful and accommodating. It's fairly obvious that he wants his guest to enjoy his house and have a great time. I can recognize and pick up on this vibe because I'm a landlord myself and feel the same way about my tenants. The only downside about this experience is that I don't like repeating a stay at an Airbnb because it's always fun to stay at a new place, but in this case because Austin and his place was so perfect, I don't think I have a choice - we will be staying at Austin's place (if we are welcome back) every time we visit San Diego.
