The parking isn't very convenient for someone who is in a wheelchair. We loved the house but again had to leave her wheelchair outside as well as our shoes(which isn't a problem) We felt safe due to needing a code to get into the property. Tje water gets very hot so be careful letting littles play in the tub. We loved havimg the hot water because most places don't usually have good hot water. The beds were very comfortable.

The instructions that were issued 3 days before the stay were definite and well defined. It got very hot and warm inside. I wish the bath mat was of non slip kind rather than move each time when you stepped on it.

Quick visit on our way to Hawaii

Accommodation was exactly want we were had in mind for our short stay. Clean and equipped as stated. One small thing, the front bedroom was very hard to get around the foot of the bed. I hit my knee on it, so i remedy that problem by putting a pool noodle around it, worked great.

Guest house in San Diego

This small guest house was ideal for our 12 day vacation in San Diego. Location was perfect for us to walk to seaport village and gaslamp. We even walked to little Italy and balboa park. Otherwise Ubers were quick and reasonably priced for the short distance. The guest house was a private getaway with kitchen set up so that we cooked breakfast every day. We would stay here again and highly recommend it for 3-4 people.

Liked: Cleanliness

Disliked: Location

The place is as described, with a few exceptions. During our stay, it was quite warm ( we were expecting this) so chose a place with air conditioning…It has air conditioning, but what they don’t tell you is it’s only the bedrooms, and per the host rules, you can only run them with the door closed and only when you are in the place. So because it was actually quite warm when we were there, we couldn’t actually enjoy the living room. The appliances were good.. only used the microwave because too hot to cook ( no dishwasher, so I recommend using very hot water)Also the host asked to leave shoes outside? I’m sorry but no..with cats running around the area I really didn’t want pee or poop in my shoes. The gates were problematic ( it takes several tries to get the close provided to work) but did work and I did feel somewhat safer, but in all honesty I wasn’t expecting people to be sleeping on the sidewalk next to my car.. obviously, not the fault of anyone but the economy and cost of living in San Diego, but knowing what I know now I might have chosen a location closer to convention center as I was traveling for a veterinary conference.Note: there is a small parking lot next to this location but it’s not for use by renters of this unit. Parking was usually within a block, but also I’m sure people were using trash cans to secure prime spots( literally, the only time we could park in front of the gate was the morning we checked out)

Perfect Guesthouse

My family and I were in San Diego to witness my grandson graduating from the Marine’s boot camp. Our experience was absolutely perfect. This property is so cute, immaculately clean, and the beds were comfortable, The owners stayed in contact with us via email making sure we were comfortable and to see if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend staying here!!!!

About the host

Hosted by John Reardon

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 if Japanese, so our family often divides our time between 2 very different worlds, both with much to offer.

Why they chose this property

It is our hope 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

This 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.
