The location is peaceful and private and felt safe away from too much hum and noise of the commercial areas. Very gorgeous views every direction you look out with adorable chickens in the back yard. Our host Josh was friendly and understanding. The property being pet friendly was a part of why we chose this rental but we didn't end up bringing our cat because of his sensitive health. The property does have a cat that we saw in the yard. Cute rabbits and lots of beautiful birds and wildlife in the trees. The driveway had convenient parking right out front and no walking by traffic except for the neighborhoods residents. Cute side patio for use was nice to sit outside at night. Air conditioner works well to keep the space cool, works even better if the shades are left down to keep out sun. Very clean, kitchen was well stocked with coffee and utensils for making simple meals.

It was the best experience we have had with a Vrbo stay. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful with check in. The cleanliness was better than any hotel we have ever stayed in. Everything was ready to use from dishes to laundry. If you are looking for a great and safe place to stay in San Diego this is it! I forgot to mention the views! Anywhere you are standing you have a beautiful view of San Diego.

Fantasic spot to stay

This spot has everything. Fridge, freezer, well appointed kitchen. Well cared for. View. The Owners were very communicative and helpful. You definitely want to stay here!If I had any tip for future vrbo’ers it would be this place can be a bit hard to find. Had to drive the maze a few times to remember it. But the owners were helpful in that also, leaving a video guide to help, and even walking me in the first night

Our stay in the Loft at Mt. Helix

The Loft is a studio apartment with one double bed and trundle.The coffee pot had old coffee in the basket and the glass carafe was stained. Other than that, the apartment was very clean.Since we used the place to only sleeep at night, it was very adequate for us.

Stunning

I booked a trip to stay near my family for the holidays. I was pleased to hear it was okay to bring my two small dogs. The loft is absolutely stunning with amazing views and the perfect size for a couple and some furbabies. The owner was very communicative throughout the entire process and made sure we were comfortable. I will definitely book again in the future!
