Overall, this house is in a great location (few blocks from the beach) and there’s lots of restaurants and things to do within walking distance. The parking is a hassle sometimes. Here are a few pros and cons:
Pros:
Walking distance from beach. Lots of stuff to do within walking distance. There was even a Target several blocks away (one of the smaller ones that look more like a grocery store but still better than nothing).
Inside was clean and there were plenty of towels. It’s hard to find 3 bedrooms/2 bath in this area.
Just a short driving distance from the zoo and lots of other “San Diego” places.
The TVs in each room were great.
The bathrooms were great.
The entire place was updated inside.
Cons:
The parking is a hassle. There are 4 spots you share with 4 places and it’s first come first choice. If you have to park in the tandem spot, it’s a hassle because you have to make sure you are close by to move your car if you are in the back or make sure you leave enough time for someone to move their car if you are the front car. Also, there was once when we came back and there was a car parked in tandem but did not pull all the way forward so we didn’t have parking. Street parking is okay, depending on the time. I had to park about a block away the few times I parked on the street.
The outdoor spaces are dirty and full of spider webs. It’s great in theory but we didn’t actually use any of the space because it was so dirty and the paint on the patio furniture was peeling. Also, the airplanes overhead are super loud.
The AC is only in the front room. This makes the other rooms hot if you close the doors.
The rooms are tiny tiny and the beds were super uncomfortable.
