The cottage was cozy and very clean.
We were there for a funeral. In other circumstances we would have enjoyed the cottage very much. It was lovely and was equipped nicely. Only thing was having the restroom upstairs and the bedrooms downstairs.

All around great place
Accommodations were as described. The property owners checked in with us to assure all was well. I thought this was a great gesture that all owners should embrace. This property is convenient to the Zoo, Balboa Park, Gas Light, and the bay waterfront including the US Navy's aircraft carrier USS Midway. Sleeping accommodations were awesome as was barbecuing on our lani. Would definitely rent again.

Our stay
Owner is great to deal with and as accommodating as can be. Area is super safe but extremely run down but proximity to downtown is good. The unit is nicely renovated but we were unaware of the layout. The bedrooms are downstairs and the 1 bathroom is upstairs which made it challenging if u have to go in the middle of the night.

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 wooded areas. 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 Victorian buildings in this historic 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 from Osaka, Japan 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 in close proximity to many 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.
