Great Stay for MCRD Graduation

We had a great stay for my son's MCRD graduation. Location was excellent, many restaurants and grocery store within walking distance. Beds were extremely comfortable and overall really nice to have a home instead of just a hotel room. It was very very quiet street and we had a great stay.

Great place to stay

My family and I came to SD for a quick getaway to visit the beach. The house was very cute, great location to get to different parts of SD quickly. There’s a grocery store very close by, and is in a fairly quiet location. Communication was awesome, and the host even dropped some beach equipment for us to use during our stay. Overall a great place to stay!!

Charming home close to everything

This is an older home with charm. The private courtyard is wonderful to sit on and enjoy the beautiful weather. We found it was just minutes away from the Zoo, Balboa park, and Old Town Historic District. Homeowner was easy to work with and was concerned about our comfort. Great place to stay.

I love the property was literally close to everything you could walk to the grocery store that really helps in a city like San Diego with limited parking. It was probably 10 to 15 minutes anywhere we wanted to go. The house was very functional and clean.

Fun stay in SD

This is a great location to stay with family or friends. The bedrooms are spacious and the common areas are great for sharing a meal or hanging out and watching tv together. The neighborhood is super cute and there’s so much to do nearby - you walk up the street and there’s a Von’s grocery and a Lazy Acres. I highly recommend this location for anyone looking for a small home away from home! Note - if you’re traveling w an infant or small children, the second bathroom is inside the master bedroom and it’s quite small. It’s usable and fine, but definitely hard to navigate w a child or anyone tall 😝

No complaints

Great house near the San Diego zoo and other attractions. I was traveling with my very young children (2 and 9 months) and appreciated that there was a travel crib and selection of toys available. The side yard was fenced and a perfect play area for them. The entire place was clean, well-stocked, and I have no complaints.

Lovely Craftsman Cottage

The property was just as portrayed in descriptions and photos. VERY comfortable and pleasant. Well outfitted with everything we needed and then some. The house is in a convenient location. It is close to restaurants, shopping, and recreation. We would definitely consider staying here again if the opportunity presented itself. One last important point. Although the address is on University Avenue, it's actually on a quiet side street. It was fun to sit on the portch and enjoy the quiet and read or chat.

Wayne, Thank you for taking good care of our home. I’m happy to hear that you would like to return. FYI the address is on University Place not University Avenue, it’s a little confusing but yes we are on a quiet cup de sac street with just a handful of houses not the busy University Avenue.

A Lovely Craftsman

5 adults and a 5-year-old spent 4 nights at Greg and Jenn’s house. The home still has the character original to the house. It’s super charming!Greg was great in responding to us when we had trouble with the lockbox. He came right over and fixed it. He also checked in with us via text several times just to make sure we were comfortable.One of the best things about the house is its location. It’s close to EVERYTHING downtown. Just about everywhere we went was less than 15 minutes away.I highly recommend staying in Greg and Jenn’s house. We were all very happy being there together!!
