- No AC- Charging to use a washer and dryer after paying 1K to rent is greedy- I have stayed on military bases with less security checks than to rent this bungalow. A 15pt contract with needing me to upload my DL is ridiculous. - After traveling all day and wanting to relax we couldn't because they were cutting cement

The unit was clean and comfortable. There was a convenience store a block away (we had to walk to the store to get change for the laundry... it takes quarters). The area felt very safe and quiet at night. The host was very nice. We always were able to find a parking spot close by on the street. We never needed to try the parking garage it mentions. It did not have a/c, and it was unusually warm and muggy while we were there. But many rentals in San Diego do not have a/c (heat only in most rentals). So long as temps aren't getting into the upper 70's/80's, this is a great choice.

Family wedding
It was the perfect location. The property was nice and clean. The garage was way too small to call a garage but perhaps storage? The area was in a neighborhood so it had plenty life and sounds. Sometimes loud, but for the most part not horrible. We lost power for a bit but called the guest number and they came out within an hour.The pots and pans were not usable so perhaps ask for new ones if that's going to be something you use. We would definitely stay here again.

A Beautiful Stay in the Neighborhood
This ground floor apartment is delightfully clean, quiet and bright, with everything you might need in the apartment and neighborhood! Plenty of street parking and easy to walk to cafes and dining around the corner, and a few blocks to the beach:) We enjoyed exploring the neighborhood with many unique houses and gardens and views.
