Graduation trip to San Diego

We had a great time at this property. It was clean, well-equipped, and just as represented! There was plenty of common space to share, and the bedrooms were comfortable and private. The outdoor space felt like a bonus for morning coffee and evening relaxation. The location was central to lots of the things we had planned, and close enough to downtown to make it easy. I highly recommend this spot!

Great, clean apartment. Lovely patio with fire pit!

Exactly as advertised. Clean, modern, all amenities listed included. Full kitchen, ready to cook in. Each bedroom (2) with a queen bed and couch pulls out with queen bed. Loved the patio and fire pit for coffee in the mornings and dinner/ drinks at night. Well insulated from outdoor noise. Freeway access close by and not far from beaches or Gaslamp District. Really enjoyed the stay!

Responsive, good attention to detail

Overall we had a lovely stay here - great communication and response to our needs, convenient location, thoughtful amenities. Only complaint would be the lack of noise insulation within the apartment and especially from the unit above. We could hear footsteps, moving of furniture etc which wasn't ideal when we were trying to sleep or early in the morning but that said i probably would stay again because it was cozy experience for the overall price.

Too many details fell through the cracks

We booked the property in advance and were particularly excited by the outdoor patio and fire pit. When I requested the address, I was told that I would receive it 3 days prior to our stay. I didn’t receive anything. The day before our trip I requested the check in and unit information and it was promptly sent. When we arrived at the house, the gate code worked, but the front door code was not correct, so I called. It was around 50 degrees when we arrived and the windows were open. There are only wall units for heat and air and no instructions on how to use them. We were able to get the heat on and that was a relief. The kitchen did not have a wine opener or a can opener. I texted with the customer service agent who indicated that she looked forward to receiving my feedback for the property manager, but no one made any effort to get the items we needed. So, we went back to the store and to a neighbors for the items that were not provided. The apartment was clean and had nice views. I really liked the bath products. The apartment is sparsely appointed, which I didn’t pay so much attention to while looking on-line, as I was focused on the patio. There was a dog barking next door and upstairs, so we didn’t even sit outside. The upstairs neighbors were very nice in loaning us a can opener but the unit is loud and had constant noise from above. We played monopoly while it was raining, and were happy that there was a game available, this was a nice touch. There just wasn’t anything special, towels and sheets just ok, furnishings just ok, details fell through the cracks and we would not stay in this property again. It didn’t ruin our time, there were just too many little things that didn’t meet our expectations.

A very bad experience

Day 1: Upon arrival, we were shocked to see that a property listed as « sparkling clean » was actually really dirty and had not been cleaned at all. The floors, inside and on the deck, were so dusty and grimy that we did not want to walk on them. We had to remove a nightmare of a heavy rug that was full of sand, dust and dirt, clean all the small appliances (coffee maker, toaster, kettle) that were covered in grease, deal with a bad stench in the main bathroom sink that did not respond to normal cleaning, and scrub the kitchen counter several times to get rid of the greasy film. We were not even sure that the sheets and towels were clean. Day 2: I reported these issues to the help line as there is no local property manager. I was eventually contacted late pm by someone in the Philippines, then by a person somewhere in California who communicated by text. He did send a housekeeper but by then it was dinnertime and dark outside so we did not ask her to clean the deck. Then a serious electrical problem occurred because there no plate on an outlet in the small bedroom that caused a power outage in half the condo. With the housekeeper’s assistance, we tried to no avail to get the problem dealt with that evening but had to spend the night with no power in the master bedroom, the en suite bathroom, the long hallway, the small bedroom, the laundry room, and the kitchen. No electrician until around 10:30 the next morning. Fortunately, he repaired everything. Day3: I had fortunately arranged to have a mid-week cleaning and the same housekeeper came back and was able to get the place in much better shape inside and out but by then we had lost 3 days of our holiday. A member of the AvantStay leadership team from Florida left me a phone message later in the day to apologize for all the issues. Much appreciated. Day 4: We had friends over and it was the only good day. Day 5: my car alarm went off, meaning that someone had probably tried to get into the car. There is no garage on this property so cars are vulnerable. Day 6: My husband caught one of the other guests looking into our car. By then we had had enough and left 1 day early. It was a very bad week for us. Hopefully next guests will have an easier time. Reviewer location - Vancouver, BC, Canada Date of arrival - December 4, 2022 Reservation ID #140648
