The house was clean/well appointed and located in a quiet, safe neighborhood. We weren’t originally very excited about street parking, but we always scored a spot right in front of the unit. The house is a ten to fifteen minute walk to shops, restaurants, and bars. North Park itself feels like it is still an up and coming area, so it may not be perfect for guests if it’s their first time in SD, but it suited our needs just fine and was very accessible to the Hillcrest neighborhood.
We arrived to a fully stocked coffee and snacks station in the kitchen - that was a really nice touch. The back patio space with grill was a really unique feature that we enjoyed as well. There are two units that are located behind the Airbnb that made the outdoor space feel a little less private than expected, but it was still a lovely space to be out in during the day/early evening.
Tylor was very communicative and sent over a lot of recommendations prior to our stay - the list was long but helpful. We requested an early check in the day of our arrival and received a copy/paste message from Tylor saying he wouldn’t know if we could check in early until our day of arrival. It caused us a bit of panic and confusion, but we got it sorted out in the end. All of this to say, communication felt impersonal at times and caused some confusion.
The host has some very particular house rules - for example, no shoes in the house and no makeup on the towels. They seemed to be very concerned with this last one because it was reiterated in almost every message they sent to us and upon check out they said we should notify them if we damaged their towels with make up. They must have been burned before by a bad guest, but some of the rules paired with their ring doorbell gave “we are watching you” vibes that were a little unsettling at times.
Overall, a decent stay. Big thanks to Tylor!
