Overall, this was an average stay for our group. The place was clean and the living room and kitchen were as pictured. The bedrooms left a bit to be desired - don’t get me wrong, they were clean - just a bit dated. You can tell this place was an old house that’s had some nice updates to the bathroom and kitchen.
Pros: Location is amazing! Within walking distance to the beach and right in between La Jolla and Mission Beach. Everything was a 15 min or less drive away. There’s a blender and dishwasher. Eating utensils are provided. Didn’t cook, but it seemed like basic cooking supplies were also there. Netflix is provided!
Cons: There was literally only one roll of toilet paper so we had to buy more. I’ve never experienced this with an Airbnb before so I assume this was an oversight, but still for the price of the place this was a bit annoying. It was easier to just buy the supply than to call them because this is run by a business that rents several vacation properties and you have to stay on hold until you speak with a customer representative.
Like I said before, the place just feels dated in the spaces that weren’t renovated. And it didn’t have the feel of curation and care that other top rated Airbnbs usually have when not operated by a big business like Mission Sands. For instance, usually if airbnbs have washer/dryers they also provide the detergent. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case here. The soap provided in the bathroom was just a couple small bars of soap.
However, it got the job done and the location is wonderful. I don’t think it was quite worth the amount we paid, but it was good enough.
