I will say that this place really is quite unconventional, but if you can get past some of the unconventional things you’ll enjoy your stay. Upon entering the place you can tell it seems to be an old warehouse or parking garage that was renovated to be a living space. There is cement flooring and the ceilings are non existent (as you see in the photos). Despite this, the place is clean, there is running hot water, and the beds are very comfortable. It is also an ideal location. If you are not staying in the central San Diego area, Imperial Beach is the next best place to be and this home is in a great place. A 6 minute drive to the beach straight down the road it’s on, surrounded by convenience stores and food options. If I could provide any feedback I would say to please put rugs in this place, the cement is cold to walk on. If you can find a way to make the walls and ceiling closed it would be a huge improvement. The open ceiling concept leaves no room for privacy, even in the bathroom. And considering the bathroom is next to the kitchen and eating area, smelling someone in the bathroom while eating is not appealing. Overall, if it’s for a short weekend I think anyone can make this place work for them (bring house shoes), but it does take some getting used to. Oh, also be prepared for European style showers. There is no door to close you in completely. There’s just a half panel of glass and the back half of the shower is open.

We had a great vacation. The place was very clean and we enjoyed staying there. It was close to stores and a 5 min or so drive to the beach. The only negative is there are no ceilings. You can hear everything going on. But it was a perfect week.

I enjoy comfort and convenience when I vacation. This was our very first Vrbo experience. We usually stay in hotels when traveling. I think I am a hotel person, not a Vrbo person. The host was wonderful! She is very quick to respond when you message her. This particular property I think just wasn’t for us. It has a cement floor. That’s probably great in the hot summer, but we stayed in the winter. I was cold the whole time. There is no heat, only A/C. Maybe that is typical of Southern California, I don’t know. The layout is awkward. There really is no place to do anything as a family- eat, play a game, etc. it’s great that there are two bathrooms. We loved that. The beds have more of a memory foam mattress topper rather than an actual mattress on them. Five nights on that bed hurt my back! There is NO PRIVACY! Because the walls do not go to the ceiling you can hear everything going on in every room, including the bathroom. I suggest to the host to at least install a false ceiling. And add some area rugs. I think these two things would make a world of difference. Property is in a decent location, about 20-30 minutes to all the attractions we wanted to visit. Plus there is food and other services nearby. I wasn’t sure about the neighborhood at first, not being from the area. But I did not feel unsafe walking to the pizza place across the street. It’s a great place for the right people.
