Great location nestled in the heart of La Jolla; walkable to nearby shops and restaurants. Check-in was easy with clear instructions.
However, upon entering the house there was a STRONG SMELL OF MILDEW with visible mold in the windows. We reached out to the host via the Airbnb app and after several hours with no response, we sent a text message noting our concerns about the strong smell. The host responded and offered to send cleaners but we requested an air purifier instead (as the house was clean but clearly had mold issues.) The host stated they would bring an air purifier by the next morning and then never did. We followed up and didn’t hear back from them for the remainder of our stay.
If you have a strong aversion to smell, asthma, or are worried about being exposed to mildew for an extended amount of time - this is not the Airbnb for you. Despite the excellent location, the smell and lack of respect and communication from the host was not worth the money or hassle.
