Overall this was a great place to stay! This was the perfect place for my wife and I on a long weekend trip to San Diego.
This Airbnb is at a great location in the heart of South Park. There’s a wonderful Italian restaurant just down the street. There’s a Target nearby too for groceries. We had a rental car during our trip and it was always easy to find a place to park. Most times we parked directly in front of the Airbnb. There was one time we had to park 2 blocks away during the middle of the day on a busy weekend.
The unit was very nicely decorated and felt cozy. The kitchen had everything we needed. There was even an iron and ironing board that we ended up using. The bed was very comfortable and we appreciated the extra blankets! There was also AC which was nice to have on after a hot day outside. The TV had Roku so there were plenty of channels to watch. It was also very clean and felt safe.
The unit is in a historic San Diego home and had a nice yard and entryway porch. The house has been split between multiple rental units, so the front porch is a shared space with an entrance to another unit. We only heard the people in the unit next to us as they were coming and going on the front porch, and could only hear light footsteps in the unit upstairs.
The host had great communication and was very helpful when we had questions! We were in regular communication with the host and it was nice that he checked in with us each day of our trip. There was even a little bag of snacks as a welcoming gift when we arrived. We would definitely enjoy staying at this place on future trips to San Diego.
A couple things to be aware of when considering this unit that may or may not be a concern for some people. There are regularly planes flying over to land at the airport every 3-5 minutes. We noticed the planes pretty much everywhere we went in San Diego, so this wasn’t something that was specific to this neighborhood, but could bother light sleepers throughout the night. Also, the unit is directly on a busy through-street. The noise wasn’t too bad, other than motorcycles and trucks. But the bed is in the front room facing the street, right at the entrance to the unit, so this noise could also bother light sleepers.
Overall, we really enjoyed staying at this place and would highly recommend it!
