Great stay right where we were trying to be for an event, it was walkable for where we needed to go, but may not be as easily walkable for some areas due to a big hill. Perfect for our family, clean, comfortable and great host!

Nice place to stay. There were restaurants within walking distance. We did take a car service to most sightseeing places. This was mainly to save time and it was fairly warm while there. Overall a nice place to stay. Host was in touch with us while we stayed. Place felt safe and secure.

Everything was clean. Host was nice and easy to communicate with. House is on a giant hill which is hard to grasp just how steep until you’re here. Scenery is consistent airplane traffic and overlooking park board utility center. Perfect place to flop if you’re planning day trips elsewhere. Neighborhood was fun to walk in with pockets of really well kept houses from turn of the century. Found a few home run restaurants within a couple blocks of our place as well. Overall, good value for the money.

Great location for going downtown or out to North Park areas. The rooms were clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. Check in information was provided ahead of time and the host was very responsive.

Nicely equipped kitchen. Be aware the room with the twin bed opens to the backyard. Walkability is limited - a handful of things only. Parking was easy and available. Beds are comfortable. There are no dressers which was frustrating, everything has to be hung up or piled up somewhere. Listing is accurate - it is a small space on a steep hill.

This was a perfect place for us! The hosts were flexible as our plans changed and we felt welcome to the home when we arrived. The location was great, so easy to get off and on the interstate. The home had everything we needed and plenty of room for all of us. Parking right outside the door, every evening (which in San Diego is not always guaranteed!). We will stay here again!
