This was our first Airbnb experience. From my initial email I found Houman was prompt and courteous in all communication. Easy check in procedures.
What you see is what you get in regard to Houman's rental. If you are looking for luxury, feather bedding with high thread counts, thick thirsty bath towels, matching flatware, dishes, etc. look elsewhere. If you are looking for a comfortable, simply furnished condo with easy access to the bay (2 short blocks!), easy access to the ocean, Downtown, Old Town, La Jolla, or wherever you may venture...let's not forget the two big screen TVs for when you are relaxing as your day ends then this is the place for you. Quiet neighbors, too. And true to his word, Houman is hands off and available should you need him (we didn't need him but good to know he would be a text or email away). I would be remiss if I didn't mention the lovely bowl of fresh fruit and other goodies in the fridge (we didn't get to eat much of it, but found it very thoughtful).
Comfortable but squeaky bed (metal headboard).
As mentioned in other reviews, covered parking is available, a big plus! You may want to consider a smaller rental car for an easier parking experience.
There is some nearby construction although this wasn't an issue for us since we were exploring San Diego while the construction was going on.
Had to maximize the ceiling fans along with other fans as the Santa Ana's were kicking up and there isn't any AC.
