2 bed, Just a few Minutes to Airport & Old Town, Great City Skyline Views

The VRBO listing for this property is essentially fraud. The photos and description are not accurate. The pros- The shower is hot with good pressure. The neighborhood behind this property is lovely to walk through. The cons- This run-down property basically overlooks a freeway on-ramp. The hot tub is in shambles with a shredded top. The kitchen faucet is falling off and has reversed hot/cold. The stove is missing nobs. All the windows are inoperable. The “AC” is a mobile unit in the living room with a tube incompletely duct taped to window. The washing machine is inoperable. There is a broken down truck in the driveway, so no parking. The fireplace is not operable as depicted in the misleading photos. The house has a very musty odor. The bed linens are worn and of poor quality. There are bags of discarded items scattered around the yard. This property is worth no more than 100 per night only because of the walking access to Mission Hills.

The property sits atop a steep hill, so the first thing I noticed was the breathtaking views of downtown and the harbor. The house is older, so there are huge bay windows in the spacious living room that offer panoramic views of the city. The house only had a portable AC unit, but it's San Diego, and the weather is pleasant most of the year. The bedrooms were spacious and well decorated. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The backyard was cozy, with patio furniture, a fire pit, and a non-functioning hot tub. The only downside of my visit was dealing with the host.Due to circumstances beyond our control, we needed to cancel. I contacted the host 11 days before our scheduled stay to see if we could cancel, and he said no. I contacted him again the next day to see if we could postpone. I attempted to contact the host on the chat feature on the app and on the cell he provided. It took him three days to respond with the message "I cannot modify or cancel at this stage." Once at the house, we found outlets that did not work, and the TV in the master bedroom had a non-functioning remote. We attempted to use the hot tub, but there was no power. I contacted the host, hoping to get instructions on how to turn it on, and his only response was "it's already on." These inconveniences might have been tolerable were it not for the unprofessional attitude of the host. I've been using this app since it was HomeAway, and this was by far my worst experience with a host.

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for a weekend to kind of just enjoy not having to be home for a weekend and staying here was very nice; the view from the living room and balcony was amazing, was close to all the hotspots in SD and just felt like a second home. I was a bit of a chaotic guest leading up to the check-in and that is because of my work but the host Daniel was very helpful and patient with my mistakes and I appreciate what he did for us.

Street parking only. There are wcrews holding down floorboards because the floors are all warped. O my the fridge in the kitchen worked. Nothing else including the jacuzzi worked because they’ve overloaded the electrical box. On day 5 of my 6 day rental, they sent an electrician. There was a used diaper stuffed behind a piece of furniture, the floors were filthy. I don’t know when the photos were taken but don’t be fooled. I’ve repeatedly asked to speak with either management or the owner and got nothing. I paid a fortune for amenities that didn’t work and haven’t heard anything nor seen a penny refunded. Stay literally anywhere else. Will be in touch with my credit card company to stop payment and filing a complaint with VRBO. This was extremely disappointing.

Started with trip with meeting the host and he was super nice! When we first walked in nothing but heat. They have a portable AC in the living room but you can’t feel it since it’s a larger room. Room 1 (King bed) TV was not working hot as well (sucky fan) the outside motion light come into the room. Room 2 (Queen bed) Good (the only room that was “cold”) Kitchen provided with everything. Outside I tripped about five times from the bricks so be careful. Very nice hot tub, was only outside for a little since the neighbors are VERY close. Good thing I texted the host about check-out requirements since that is not posted/ was not told to me when I booked. We did notice that some of the couch cushions smell a little like cat urine. One of our guests did wake up to 2 bites (it could be from a mosquito but we weren’t outside for long) Overall the host are very nice people the house is gorgeous just very hot but it’s definitely summer in san diego.
