Our stay at this Air BnB was generally good. We were there for about 8 days so we really got a feel for the neighborhood and San Diego in general. Lynn was very responsive. I’ll list pros and cons for you below:
PROS: Loved the neighborhood! Nice park very close by for picnics, swings, sitting in the shade or in the sun. Several coffee shops and liquor/convenience stores to choose from within 3-4 blocks. Plenty of restaurants ranging from easy inexpensive carry out, a brewery, and $$ restaurants of various food styles. Clean apartment, comfortable bed and bedding, ceiling fans, easy to get in and out and fantastic laundry set up in main floor of building. Machines use an app to for payment and the app monitors the cycle so you know exactly when to go back down to get your clothes! Kitchen is stocked with some equipment for cooking simple meals (I made suggestions for a few valuable additions should they want to improve the equipment). Highways are easily accessible from the building. Grocery store about 1 ½ miles away.
CONS: The unit is on a busy corner right above a bar! Thursday nights seem to be their big night, but the most annoying thing was that people go outside (below the bedroom windows) to smoke and talk and wait for rides. It can get pretty noisy, especially between 12 and 2 AM. Earplugs helped. One can also hear buses, which you would expect in a busy-ish neighborhood. Parking isn’t difficult, but we did have to walk about 4 blocks one night. Otherwise, we were within 2 blocks other times.
The noise at night is the only reason this place did not get a 5 star from us.
