Cons: Checking in at 5pm house should have been clean. Picture shown look like pictures from when the house was posted on site. Couches were and carpet were dirty. There was a mildew smell may be from mini split. Ants on bathroom floor. Back yard patio had a lot of spider webs. Sharp floor tile in living room not kid friendly. Area where house is a little rough. Back gate being held by zip ties. Pros close to beach and Sesame Street Place. Communication could of been better with host.

The place was cute and perfect size for what we needed. We could not open the windows to the bathroom or bedrooms, there was a terrible pee smell outside that permeated the inside. After a day of having all the windows closed the smell went away. Overall, not a bad place just unfortunate for the smell.

Quick weekend
We had a comfortable stay. The place was very clean but a bit small. The neighborhood is older but located centrally to get around San Diego. We would stay here again. Its a perfect place to stay if you have a busy weekend planned.

great place for four guests!
Our stay was very nice! We arrived during the night so it made it a little difficult to first find the house, as it was dark and we were unfamiliar with the area, but during the day its very visible. The house is very cute and cozy with working appliances, pots and pans, and more. The neighborhood itself was okay. In terms of location, you will need to Uber or rent a car to go to most attractions. Overall, we loved the space itself, appreciated the host's recommendations, and would stay there again if we return to San Diego!
