It seems some guests had a good experience but she picked us to dislike.
Tara is passive aggressive, unprofessional, and not a good host. If you’re willing to take the risk of her not liking you and okay with sketchy Ocean Beach, this is your place. I thought we’d be safe since she’s a super host and had good reviews but it wasn’t a good experience for our stay.
The lodging itself isn’t bad, hence the three stars. The other factors make it less appealing and an “approach at your own risk.” Noisy intersection, lack of clean linens, and strictly enforced rules.
We weren’t super familiar with San Diego but I’d recommend other areas beside Ocean Beach to stay in, and definitely not in this house. There’s similar priced Airbnb’s and we had better experiences with other hosts in San Diego.
