Thanks for your feedback, Matthew! We’re glad the home worked well for your group and that you enjoyed the bathrooms, kitchen, and grill. We appreciate you letting us know about the garage and key situation—we’ll take a closer look so it’s easier for larger groups in the future. Sorry to hear about the concern in the area, and we’re grateful you shared your experience. We’d be happy to host you again!
We were in town for a conference with just 6 of us staying there. We all work for the same company but are not family so the extra space was great. The team loved the place and location! It couldn't have been better.

Thank you, Erica! We're so glad the space worked well for your team during the conference. It's great to hear that everyone enjoyed the location and the extra room. We appreciate your kind words and hope to host you all again in the future!
Our group gathered in San Diego after a national conference and had our retreat. What a lovely place to stay and enjoy each other’s company outside of work! The park location was perfect and we shared a number of great meals together. Would highly recommend.

Thank you for your feedback, Melissa. We're so glad to hear that the location was perfect for your group's retreat and that you enjoyed your time together outside of work. It’s wonderful to know that you had great meals and made lasting memories. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to host you again in the future!
The location was great. The house is a bit tired though functional. The upstairs shower is very slippery and really needs a rubber mat for the shower. We had to purchase one for our stay. The only other thing I would mention is that the carpet in the upstairs living room is very slippery also and easy to trip on. We rolled it up while we were there and put it back when we left. We also had a hard time figuring out how to turn off some of the lights.

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback — we really appreciate it. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the location and found the house functional. Thank you as well for pointing out the issues with the shower and the carpet — your comments are constructive. We’ve already noted your suggestions and will be adding a shower mat and looking into the carpet and lighting to make things more comfortable and safe for future guests. We really value you taking the time to let us know, and we hope you had an enjoyable stay overall.
We loved it here! We got married in San Diego and then just stayed and hung out with all our friends, it was amazing. The only thing that could have been better were the overhead lights working. But we were told that they were working on them beforehand. Very good communication, I would definitely stay again.

Re rental of flats from Friday Feb 14 to Monday February 17, 2020.
The rental was advertised as 9 bed rooms and on suite bath on the 3rd floor. The advertisement was wrong. The main bedroom on the 3rd floor was facing East and there were no window coverings of any kind. You could not reasonably sleep there. In the evening there was no privacy and you would wake up at 5:30 from the sun.
The “room” with the two bunk beds was windowless and small. It was not a room but a closet.
The one bathroom for 4 “bedrooms” was not on suite. 1 toilet for 4 bedrooms in not acceptable when you rent at a top price.
I was unable to bring this to your attention sooner. We have arranged to have the family to come to San Diego for a major birthday. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a Celebration of Life

This property holds so many and has some nice touches to it being across the street from Balboa, close to James Coffee Co., etc. Having two full kitchens and refrigerators was a pleasant surprise as we were told it only had one. The space was initially confusing for us to navigate but after a day or so, we figured it out and got comfortable. It was a bit frustrating that during our stay, multiple employees were sent in for various repairs and clean ups. We were only there for four nights collectively, so having two separate days involve AC techs and cleaning companies was instructive upon our time and should have been handled prior to our arrival since they weren’t emergencies. Additionally, the cleanliness of the space was a disappointment and did impact our stay. We actually had to clean all three patio spaces ourselves in our to create a space where guests could sit and enjoy the amenity. We also spent time removing cobwebs, spiders, and dust from the top unit. For the price paid, it was surprising to find ourselves spending hours cleaning before the rest of our friends came. In summary, lots of potential here but also some disappointments for the value. Not sure we would stay here again.

THE TV AND INTERNET WERE A CONSTANT PROBLEM.
IT APPEARS TO BE THE CHEAPEST TV PROVIDER AND WE HAD CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH IT.
