Pros: great location, beautiful view, comfy beds, communicative host.
Cons: not cleaned on arrival, host arranged for cleaners to come and refunded the cleaning fee (would have just preferred it clean prior to arrival but host made immediate efforts to rectify). The cockroach problem is real; roaches in the garage and living in the downstairs bathroom. Floor was dusty/sandy definitely wear shoes indoors (but I guess it’s close to the beach?). Shower sprayed very thin lines of water.
Notes:
There’s noise with airplanes flying overhead but not really loud enough to wake you up. If you are on the rooftop, it is not deafening. Just maybe can’t hear what people are saying as they pass by.
The parking in the garage is VERY TIGHT (I consider the rav4 a medium SUV and that took quite some effort to park). Afterwards I opted to park on the street where there is plenty of parking.
All in all:
I would not return. While it does have amazing rooftop views of the ocean/sunset and proximity to downtown ocean beach and many locations; roaches are a dealbreaker for me. I think this Airbnb has tons more potential if the roaches were dealt with and cleaning is better managed. Thank you to the host who did his best to accommodate us.
