Charming Main house

The neighborhood is not one I would walk alone in. The outside back yard was a postage stamp tucked behind the garage. We had to pick up up palm tree leaves. There was umbrella but no cloth. The drive way was very narrow. You must be able to back up well. Inside was very cute, but bare bones. We had 3 adults, 6 towels, 2 hand towels and no face cloths. The main bathroom has no slip mat in the tub, which makes it very slippery. The masterbath does not have a fan, so you need to open the window when you shower. There are no hooks in the bathroom to hang towels. When we arrived we didn't have towels. When I did contact host, she did reply immediately. Towels were still in wash, wet and some bedding was in dryer wet. She tried to call cleaning person but no response so we had to finish laundry. The house was quiet, the beds were ok. I wouldn't want to rent this place if I was staying there for dinners, but it was ok to sleep and shower. We asked for a later check out and the host never responded to our calls. I texted to say we checked out and no response. There are no games or books. Tv is all streaming. No cable tv.The umbrella was ripped and

My family and I were attending a wedding in Oceanside and seeing other family in San Diego over a 5-day stay. The home was very accurately depicted in photos in the VRBO listing and very much as described. The host, Sahar, was very accommodating and helpful. For example, when we couldn't find coffee pods for the coffee maker in the home, Sahar had his property manager bring a Keurig so that we could have coffee in house each day. Another example was that he had all the carpets cleaned prior to our arrival and even sent us pictures of the cleaning being done. One thing we recommend to future guests is that they bring their own pillows if that's possible for them. Personally, I found the pillows fine, but when you can sleep on your pillow, it always makes the beds even more comfortable. We also found the location of the house to be perfect for us. It's not more than 1.5 miles from State Highway 78 and close to many of the services anyone might need. Walmart Neighborhood Market is only 5 minutes away and Downtown Escondido is close as well. Proximity of a Catholic church was important to us and there are two within 10 minutes of the house. All in all, I recommend Sahar as a VRBO host and this particular property if you're looking for a place in Escondido.

Overall we had a good stay- just a few items of feedback we wanted to share. There were no paper towels or dish towels in the kitchen. We had to purchase our own paper towels. Also in the bathrooms- each only had 1.5 small rolls of toilet paper. We had to purchase more of that as well. We had 6 towels and 6 guests. Only 2 small wash cloths. No extras (a couple would have been nice) Very tight driveway- we have an expedition and we had to pull our mirrors in to get to the back parking area. The garage was not big enough so if you have a large car keep this in mind. Also- the front driveway is shared and so maneuvering was tricky when the other van was there. It backs out onto a very busy street so we just had to do our best. Master bedroom bed is very firm and the bathroom is small/tight. The Shower in master bathroom is clogged so it fills with water very fast and almost overflows. There weren’t towel racks in either bathroom. The kitchen and living areas were very clean and open. The Water pressure is low, especially when both showers are being used at the same time. The plumbing overall wasn’t great. The ac blew out very cold during the night but struggled during the day. There are Zero hangers in closets. If a goal is to spend a lot of time in San Diego/downtown, Oceanside etc be aware it is a 40 min drive (not including traffic)

The place was nice, but met the bare minimum. No toiletries, including toilet paper, were provided. The ice machine was not functional. However, the place was clean and had three decent size bedrooms.
