San Diego stay

Our stay in this house was everything we expected. The hardest thing was the parking but as long as we used side streets and walked a bit it was ok. Great location for easily getting to areas we wanted to visit.

Secure stay in the heart of San Diego

The kitchen was clean and very well stocked - we had everything we needed to prepare meals at the house. There were four of us, so to eat together we had to go downstairs, as the table upstairs in the kitchen only seats two. The home was clean, although the carpet had an old stain in front of the couch. Parking is on the street, and can be difficult to secure, which would have been nice to know prior to booking, as we would have rented a compact instead of a midsize. The washer and dryer are coin-op and are in another building outside the main house. Quarters and detergent were provided, which was greatly appreciated. There is A/C, although we didn't use it. We just kept the blinds closed, and it stayed fairly cool. The neighborhood isn't quiet, and I wouldn't walk the streets on my own after dark, but the house has a security gate to the property, and another code for the house, and then individual codes for the units, so I didn't feel unsafe. The biggest plus for us was that the teenage foster kids each had a room downstairs, and ours was upstairs, which was nice. we could play games together at the table downstairs, and then come up to watch some TV and enjoy a glass of wine when the teens went to bed. The table and chairs on the front porch are a great place to sit at sunrise or sunset!

Cute house in downtown San Diego!

The rental was very clean, nice and comfortable! It was well kept with nice towels and linens. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. The owner kept in contact and was available for anything we needed. It was close to the Gaslamp district. We would definitely recommend this rental and would love to stay there again!

Comfortable beds!

We enjoyed our stay, the beds were very comfortable! Thank goodness, too, we walked so much during the day we were exhausted by evening. The place was clean and the owner was great at communicating with us via email. The neighborhood seemed a bit sketchy but we had no issues. We walked to get food each night athe little Mexican takeout place a half a block up. Pretty good eats! The only thing that was a little tough was a screaming child in another unit. They sounded like they were right in our unit. This occurred 2 of the 3 nights we stayed. Otherwise all good! Thanks for extending you nice place to us!

Great location, responsive owner

This was a great place to stay. The location was close to almost everything we wanted to do. The neighborhood felt safe and friendly, even after dark. There were a couple small things that came up during our stay and John was quick to respond and to solve all issues. My bedroom was under the front entryway. I could hear people as they came in and out if it was late or early, but it was pretty quiet other than that.

Good home, very clean. Was big enough for my family of 6. The highway entrance is only a few blocks away which made it pretty quick and easy to drive to anything in San Diego. There is not really anything worth walking to from this location. Would stay here again, enjoyed our trip.

Great downtown location

John's property is everything you need and a getaway location. Close to restaurants, entertainment, and the beach extremely clean and cozy. The communication and support was awesome I knew everything I needed to get in and out of the property and was in constant contact if I had questions. If you are headed to San Diego for business or pleasure consider this location you will not be disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by John Reardon

Host profile image
I grew up in Northampton Massachusetts, a town with countless beautiful old homes and lots of woods. I spent countless days in my youth building tree forts never knowing that those 2 dynamics would intersect at this point. Upon arriving in San Diego with an interest in building and purchasing real estate, I became immediately interested in the largely neglected Victorian buildings in this area of town. This property became a labor of love for me many years ago and I hope that legacy will be carried forward by my 3 sons. My wife is Japanese, so our family often divides our time between 2 very different worlds, both with much to offer.

Why they chose this property

I am hopeful that our guests will appreciate the attention to detail and uniqueness of design that has been incorporated into every aspect of this property.

What makes this property unique

Our property is strategically located close to most of San Diego's most popular destinations. It's central location and proximity to a newly revitalized downtown, airport, beaches and parks affords our guests the best possible experience while visiting San Diego.
