The Positive:
*Location - house is located in one of my favorite San Diego neighborhoods (Mission Hills) close to all that San Diego has to offer. The Gaslamp, all beaches, and Little Italy are a short uber ride away.
*View/Deck - Expansive back deck with great views of the airport/harbor.
Things to Know (not necessarily their fault):
*There is no AC. Just happened to be that I was staying here during the hottest week of the year (think 95 degrees) and the house gets hot. There are fans but they didn't do much. To be fair San Diego doesn't usually get this hot and a lot of homes in this area do not have AC, but something to consider if you're going when its hot.
*To get to the downstairs bedroom you need to walk through the sleeping area with the bunk beds. Maybe this is clearly stated in the description and I missed it, but its not the most convenient when people are sleeping in the bunk bed area.
The Negative:
*In my opinion the home shows nicer in the photos than in person. The house has had some updates done but its an older home and it feels that way. There was a musty smell upon entering that reminded me of an older home. This could partly be due to the warm weather but everyone noticed that it smelled like "grandma's house".
*Lack of towels. There weren't enough towels for the 5 of us and we searched everywhere.
*Bugs. We killed a couple of good sized beetles inside the house.
*Upstairs Shower. The upstairs shower is configured really weird and makes it tough to take a comfortable shower. The shower stall is small and the shower head is high up and shoots off towards the side wall.
*Check In/Out Times. We couldn't check in until 4pm and had to be out by 10am. I understand this is published but we requested an early check in and a late check out and both requests were denied. It seems like these check in/out windows are getting tighter and tighter and it would have been nice to have at least an extra hour to check out considering we needed to get the house ready for check out.
