Great place...clean and very affordable for the area. Camila was quick to respond to questions and concerns. Great location and central to everything we wanted to see.
Street parking was definitely annoying. (Not Camila’s fault) but we stayed during the week street cleaning needed to be done. So, we had to wake up at 6:30 am to move the car. There wasn’t any parking close by so we had to move it four blocks away and walk back of course. Not a deal breaker since we were awake anyways, but still annoying. During the day parking was plentiful, but if arriving after 4 pm, it was very difficult to find close by. The patio was great to sit and have a glass of wine on. The view is slightly obstructed by the passion fruit vines when sitting down, but still not a dealbreaker for us.
Steps are small enough to get luggage in and out without any issues. At night, there are motion detecting lights to help you down which was a huge plus.
The TV is definitely in an odd spot. There’s no way to sit on the couch or bed and watch TV comfortably. I only mention this for those who may want to relax in the evening with some tube! We didn’t mind because we didn’t come to San Diego to watch TV. Although it would have been nice to have in the evenings to unwind, I’m very glad we stayed. The studio makes good use of the space with the furniture setup.
All in all, I’m glad we stayed! Bed was sooo comfy and AC blowing right on the bed added to a great night’s sleep.
We almost didn’t stay because of some concerns she seemed to have over our service dog. Camila was slightly abrasive when I first contacted her about it and I’m not really sure why. Maybe I misunderstood her tone in text which can be easily done. At one point she even stated if another place was still available we “should probably stay there.” She mentioned there would be extra fees if there was dog hair left. There seemed to be a lot of added fees ($75 if you leave AC on, $250 if smoking on patio, extra fee for cleaning dog hair on top of the already paid $65 cleaning fee). We don’t smoke, but again, I mention this for people who might think that’s a deal breaker. In my experience with Airbnb, when dogs are allowed, the cleaning is usually attached to the pet fee and/or cleaning fee. Oh well, again, it ended up working out and we cleaned everything to be immaculate before leaving to make sure we weren’t charged extra for anything. I met Camila in person and she was VERY friendly, so I’m hoping our initial contact was just a misunderstanding...
Again, a great place with great value! Thanks Camila!
