We LOVED staying at this property. It was clean and well-appointed. The proximity to the train and downtown was perfect. The Evolve team was quick to respond when I had a question. We look forward to our return visit.
The house was spotless. Great to have a washer/dryer. Walking distance to stores, groceries and family that live in the area. The only drawback were the air fresheners that gave you a headache the minute you walked in. We found all of them and placed then outside for the duration of our stay to make everything perfect.

We enjoyed the house very much. It was perfect for our needs. The beds were comfortable which is a must have for me! Location was good for our visit to SDSU for parents weekend.
This is an additional note to my earlier review; we stayed at this property for two weeks, from 1.21 to 2.3 2026. I wanted to mention that both the rental team and the owner of this property were very communicative and helpful, with quick responses to any inquiries. The owner shipped a coffee maker to the property when we explained that we don't use a Keurig. That was very much appreciated.I'm changing my rating to five stars, as I think the noise concerns we had were fairly minor on the whole and may not affect others as much. Just be aware that there are definitely traffic sounds you will hear in the unit!On the whole, a very comfortable rental for a longer stay.

La Mesa Townhome
Overall, we had a great two-week stay at this townhome within walking distance of La Mesa village. It was large, clean and very well stocked, and the upper level living areas were open, nicely decorated and very pleasant. The only reason we give it four stars is that there is a certain noise level that renters should be aware of. There is considerable traffic and a trolley that runs frequently on the major street below the unit, and the noise is audible through the older lower level bedroom windows at night. Also, there were two very loud dogs next door that barked at us whenever we went on the balcony. I'm not sure if that would always be the case, but it was a minor nuisance for us during our stay. Overall, this is a very pleasing, comfortable and large space that makes a nice home away from home.
Everything was great! The view was great! Very cute place! My adult kids walked to the train a couple mornings to go downtown and to LaJolla. Thank you for the quiet place to rest!
Fantastic home located a short walking distance to downtown La Mesa for restaurants, shopping and access to the trolley and freeway. Great for families with lots of space and amenities. Beds not as comfortable as I would have liked, but not a deal breaker. Would definitely stay again.

Great place to stay
Great place to stay! Amazing views of the city, quiet neighborhood. The house has everything you need: comfy beds, washer and dryer, dishwasher, stocked kitchen. Coffee provided, which was very nice. We hope to come back!
Spent a week here and stay was excellent. Close to everything. Didn't drive more than 15 minutes to get anywhere. Would stay again.

La Mesa stay
This was the second time we used this Town House. It nice to know what is available to you when you stay. Everything we needed was there. We made a mistake in entering the door code to many time and had to call a Evole guest contact. Elizabeth answer right away and reset the code for us in minute.
Me and my family were incredibly excited and grateful to be able to stay in this wonderful place at a wonderful location. Hopefully we'll be able to utilize this spot for our future visits and stays in the San Diego area over the next several years.

It was perfect!
We were very pleased with our stay. We stayed here for my daughter's graduation from SDSU. Our party included 2 seniors, 2 adults and 2 young adults and our space was not tight! We walked into a clean house that smelled really nice. lol :) I was happy that there were 2 balconies that we can hangout in during our downtime and that we also had access to the garage. I would definitely recommend this house!
Overall was a perfect spot , easy to get to and easy to check in. Only two things I would say is if you plan on streaming any TV bring an extra device as their Smart tv did not launch any apps. Also the parents bedroom is a bit on the darker side , there’s a lack of light downstairs.

Perfect
My family had a great stay. The house is clean and has all the things we need. Perfect for family with baby/ kids as it has crib, baby seats and toys. Great location with nice view at night and in the morning.. close to downtown and shops. Will stay again
So very tidy and stylish! Loved the decor and the location too! Just a short 10 min walk to bars and restaurants in old la mesa. The deck was great for coffee in the am. Very quiet and clean.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
This is a really cute property in a lovely hillside neighborhood. It is well kept and family friendly. A few things I would adjust in the home description: be up front about the bedrooms being downstairs. That is not clearly laid out in the description and the stairs could be a problem with persons who have mobility issues. Also, be clear in the description that this property does not have a yard. It says it is pet-friendly but there is no location where dogs can “do their business” without taking them out on a leash.

Amazing Owner
The owner was incredibly sweet and so accommodating. Having children, he had all that we needed and helped me with anything I needed. Super understanding of being a busy parent and hectic lifestyle, I felt comfortable and got any needs met with any questions I had for him. The place was very good with everything close by. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful location.

Great place
I enjoyed my stay. The townhome has a modern uncluttered feel with windows and a deck that look out toward Mt Helix. Very pleasant. The neighborhood is wonderful for walking and a short walk to La Mesa Village , restaurants, coffee shops, trolley. Mayra responded quickly to my questions.

Absolutely fantastic!
This place exceeded our expectations. It is fully stocked with everything you’d want. From baby bassinet, crib and children toys if needed. We appreciated how thoughtfully stocked it was. Spacious, clean and just perfect. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Home away from home
The house and location are perfect! Warm and inviting with personal touches that make the rental feel like a home. Beautiful view and functional black out curtains in the master bedroom. Plenty of hot water with good water pressure. Comfortable beds. Easy walk to cafes. Best espresso is at a coffee shop is called Public Square. Very responsive management with excellent communication.
