Response from VrboOwner on 9 August 2023
We respect our Guests opinions and rarely feel the need to respond as the vast majority of our reviews are positive, but in this case we feel it is warranted. We have a full time cleaning staff and a full time maintenance crew that can respond to any concerns our Guests may have within minutes. We emphasize before and during our Guest's stays that in the event there are any issues of concern they need only let us know. We checked with this Guest during their stay and they relayed to us that everything was fine. Our cleaning staff is excellent and typically there are no complaints, but everyone is human so a call would have quickly and easily alleviated any and all concerns.

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.

Great Location

What a GEM… This cute little cottage worked great for our stay. The yard was amazing to sit back and enjoy your evening.A little lacking in the kitchen supplies but overall a great place to stay. ( a little cleaning in the stairwell would have been nice)

Very Well Thought Out Place

This place #2 was very nice . Everything was clean and updated. The entire place is well thought out. Laundry right there (they provided for 3 loads), trash cans convenient, BarbeQue and fire pit add to the charm, gated property. The location is centrally located, very close to everything. The only two negatives were the neighborhood is a little sketchy, and the parking rules of San Diego are a little strange. Other than that, we loved our stay. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay in a place that allows you to come a go, cook your own food, free parking, and feels like apartment living. My family of four enjoyed our stay.

Nice Place

I was in San Diago on business and one of my partners stayed with me with others staying nearby. The outside area was perfect for our meetings of 5 and instead of going out to eat we grilled out. Location was good and everything you needed was nearby. Would definitely recommend and the owner was very accessible if needed.

The stay was great. The property owner was very friendly and helpful. He was attentive to all needs and was able to help us. The laundry room was convenient. The house was cute and very clean and tidy. It has all the things needed to make the stay great. The location of the house was very convenient. It was close to so many things. This house is the nicest house in the neighborhood. The owner takes great pride in the property and keeps it updated and clean. I would stay here again.

Cozy Cabin

This was our third stay. Unit number 2 is the cabin in the rear of the property and works well for us. The addition of a common area is very nice and includes a fireplace, large gas grill, covered dining area and lounge chairs. John is a pleasure to work with and his associates are friendly and responsive.

Great set up for a family!

The cottage was lovely - well-equipped, spacious. The outdoor area with patio sets, fireplace, and BBQ was great! John was a pleasure to deal with. Neighbourhood was a bit noisy on weekday mornings (though I don't suppose the middle school dance competitions are a usual Monday and Tuesday morning at 8am occurrence...!;) Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely Cottage

Very nice for us only a mile from our sons family. On street parking was not a problem. The patio is very nice and the cottage has air conditioning if necessary. The two bedrooms are on the lower level which was not a problem for us. The owner is very responsive.

We were told not to ware shoes in the house but the floor was dirty. The coffee pot was not working properly. Other then that it was great beds were comfortable and house was nice. But it is not as close to downtown or the park if you want to be anywhere for entertainment you need to take transportation.
