Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by John Reardon

I grew up in Northampton Massachusetts, a town with countless beautiful old homes and lots of wooded areas. 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 Victorian buildings in this historic 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 is from Osaka, Japan so our family often divides our time between 2 very different worlds, both with much to offer.
Why they chose this property
I am hopeful 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
Our property is strategically located in close proximity to many 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.
