My husband and I, along with our adult son stayed for the weekend while visiting family in San Diego. This home was perfect. It is beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and extremely well-stocked. The owner even provided treats! We felt very comfortable there. The location is convenient for enjoying everything San Diego has to offer. We had a lovely time and will definitely stay again.

Adorable Restored/Renovated Craftsman in an oh so convenient location. Modern kitchen and bath ( the bathroom mirror was a stroke of genius). Walking distance to numerous dining options, a quick Uber to Sea World, the Embarcadero and the San Diego Zoo. Fully fenced yard for the furry family member. Perfect covered front porch for ice tea and a good book. We loved it.

The place was lovely! Very clean and with a fully equipped kitchen. There was even some toys/games for kids to play with. There’s another tenant upstairs, but we were largely unaffected.

We had all we could need and more. The bungalow home is super cute and modernized. Being an arachnophobe, i didn't love the 2 spiders who wanted to visit us. However, there were zero webs or cobwebs just some "squatters". Beds were comfortable and so was the couch. The welcome wine was kind and the owner makes all the instructions crystal clear. We have 2 teens and they felt comfortable as well.I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful, comfortable, and very neat clean house! Everything was set up very conveniently-kitchen had everything we needed and the bedrooms were comfortable and quiet. We had a small challenge with the door lock one time but the owners immediately answered our call and walked us through the issue which was immediately fixed. Great stay!
