"Wow, this is an awesome place" was pretty much the theme of our weekend, and a phrase that was uttered by everybody multiple times. Came down to San Diego for the weekend because my friends and myself were spending most of our time in the Gaslamp District, so we just picked the spot that was closest to Downtown. The owner, Matt, seemed like a cool enough guy, so we went for it. Boy. Great call on my part. First off, Matt was very flexible and extremely accommodating with scheduling. Although we had the house booked for Friday and Check In time is usually 3PM-4PM (some hosts are strict about that window), he was willing to adjust to the time I would arrive at the house which was much later since we had to drive out after work in LA and fight with that traffic. Ended up getting there an hour later than I quoted, and he was still able to make it work. Such a relief. Because we also had to go back to work EARLY Monday morning, he was also willing to make arrangements to pull the Check Out time up a bit earlier so we could leave at the time we needed to. While that might not seem like the biggest of deals, it took a LOT of the stress out of my weekend and allowed me to have a great time without too much worry. Now for the house, So this place will go down as one of my favorite houses of all time (have had friends get Airbnbs of similar sizes). The neighborhood itself is relatively quiet and tame. Also, there was a Mexican Food Restaurant called Tacos El Paisa down the street that had BOMB Surf & Turf Burritos that Matt recommended. Definitely need to go back to that place and check out the rest of the menu. The house itself is a nice little 1 story house with an extremely cozy feel to it. Parking inside the gate accommodated 4 cars which was more than enough for us, but there was plenty of street parking as well. Gate was able to be locked to keep our cars safe, and there was also a security system in place for the entire perimeter of the house. Probably the safest I've ever felt in a place that wasn't my Mom's house, to be honest. When we got to the house, Matt was waiting for us and showed us around. The house was nice, really neat, and made us feel like we were really at home. Bedrooms were really comfy and the bathrooms were fully stocked. Wonderful couch with customized Drink Coasters for each side table too! Turned out to be quite the challenge to get out of the house to actually go visit other places because it was so comfy. Wifi Passwords were all listed and contact info was listed in multiple places. Apparently the house had a heater but no air conditioning but....it was raining outside...
